It was custom in Shakespeare's day to seek culture and romance in the idyllic countryside of Italy, and it's no different today. Here's a classic Italian cocktail aptly named for the beautiful rainbows seen on many romantic afternoons from the Ristorante Covo dei Saraceni in Positano.
Ingredients:
1 bottle chilled Prosecco
1/2 oz. dry gin
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. chilled pineapple juice
1 1/2 oz. chilled orange juice
1/2 oz. chilled grapefruit juice
1 whole strawberry
Preparation:
Chill a long fluted champagne glass a few hours in the refrigerator before preparing.
When ready to serve, remove the glass and pour in juices, gin and a touch of Cointreau. Fill the rest of the glass with Prosecco. Gently stir.
Drop a strawberry at the bottom of the glass, look into your lover's eyes and repeat: "Love comforteth like sunshine after rain." Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis
