Mixologist Tạ Huỳnh Như from Mai House Saigon Hotel

Boasting a deliciously distinct bitter-sweet flavour of Aperol and vibrantly red texture thanks to the addition of aromatic Campari, the drink is a firm favourite for Italian cocktail lovers on any occasion.

This cocktail is made with Aperol, a popular Italian apéritif that has a distinct flavour. The addition of Campari, an unmistakable and contemporary classic, gives the cocktail a dry, light and refreshing taste. Being finished off with a splash of lime juice and a slice of strawberry adds a distinctive sour and a beautiful colour to the drink.
