Al FrescoCocktail recipe
Rating
Al Fresco is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that takes its inspiration from the vibrant Italian outdoors. This cocktail is perfect for warm summer days, where a light and citrusy drink is just what you need.
The base of this cocktail is gin, a classic and versatile spirit that brings a smooth and herbal note to the drink. Combined with fresh lime juice, crisp apple juice, and a splash of lemon liqueur, Al Fresco is a perfectly balanced blend of sweet and sour flavors.
The addition of mint leaves adds a refreshing and aromatic touch, while the half-apple garnish completes the drink with a pop of color. Al Fresco is a perfect choice for those looking to enjoy a taste of the outdoors with every sip.
