Sweet Italian white wine and a dash of Chartreuse turn a highball into an altogether more approachable summer drink
his drink was inspired by our love of good wine. The aim was to create a lower-abv drink that was really approachable, and could be enjoyed at any occasion, be that a barbecue in the sunshine, a dinner party with friends or just binge-watching a favourite TV show.
Moscato highball
Serves 1
25ml moscato (the sweet white Italian wine)
25ml rose vermouth – we use The Aperitivo Co’s Sofia; Regal Rogue’s Wild Rosé Vermouth would also work, as would Lillet rosé
15ml Green Chartreuse
20ml fresh lemon juice
15ml 50:50 sugar syrup
Soda water, to taste
1 grapefruit wedge, to garnish
Pour the moscato, vermouth, Chartreuse, lemon juice and syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until the tin feels frosty, then strain into a highball glass over fresh ice. Top with soda to taste, garnish with the grapefruit wedge and serve.
