Gagliardo Cocktail
The Gagliardo cocktail presents a robust amber to reddish-brown hue, depending on the type of bitter used. Its distinct colour reflects the cocktail’s full-bodied composition and layered character and is typically served clear, allowing the hue to remain undisturbed. The concoction creates a complex flavour profile marked by liqueur notes with controlled dilution and aligns with pre-meal serves, suited for modern cocktail menus.
