Jacopo Falleni's Tranquility
INGREDIENTS:
1 ¼ oz Pear vodka
¾ oz Triple sec
½ oz Pineapple Puree
1/2 oz Homemade Sweet and Sour
1 squeeze of lemon
Hand full of diced cucumbers
6 sage leaves
1 zucchini squash for garnish
........................................
DIRECTIONS:
PINEAPPLE PUREE:
Take one pineapple, dice it and place it in a blender. If you have the home made simple syrup, pour it until the liquid part covers half of the solid and blend it. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Are you ready to make your guests foam at the mouth? Let's go! Place the diced cucumbers in the mixing glass. Add 1/2 oz. of Sweet and Sour and muddle well to pull out all the juice from the cucumber.
Once you create the base, start pouring all the ingredients. Remember that you already used the 1/2 oz. of Sweet and Sour. Don’t pour them again, otherwise your drink will be pretty tart!
Shake it … shake it and serve it in a nice chilled and green rimmed Martini glass.
The drink has a beautiful greenish yellow color and a flowing texture from the floating cucumber seeds. The perfume is very inviting. Between the fresh vegetal note we can easily recognize the fresh pineapple.
The taste is soft, light, refreshing and very balanced. Seriously, perfect match after a nice and relaxing spa treatment!
