Queen Bee
Mixology
Altamura Distilleries Signature Cocktail #FCW23Gucci Giardino 25 Florence
Queen Bee is inspired by life in a beehive – a group of components working cohesively, just like in a bar. The queen bee directs all the other creatures in this fantastic ecosystem, aiming to form a strong and solid structure, a perfect mechanism that renews daily. The drink features banana-infused bourbon and mango-infused vodka, different ingredients that together create harmony and body. Close your eyes, and you’ll be able to taste each element building the drink’s complexity, just as you imagined. Everything is left to rest overnight with homemade pineapple Greek yogurt, providing a velvety sensation on the palate. As in any beehive, honey and the balsamic note of propolis are essential. To complete the homey thought, a memory of the hive is created with pollen.

The Apulian Gold
Mixology
Altamura Distilleries Signature Cocktail #FCW23Empireo – Plaza Hotel Lucchesi – Florence
A creative twist on the classic Margarita cocktail was inspired by incorporating ingredients from Italy’s Puglia region. The innovative vodka, crafted from Altamura wheat, is blended with bread, tomatoes, broccoli rabe, and burrata cheese. This light, elegant, and refreshing sour cocktail combines seemingly unlikely ingredients to create a truly captivating drink. At first, the aroma of bread is apparent, but as one sips, the distinctive flavors of Puglia shine through.
