The bars open and the World Cocktail Day they could not help but create the desire to innovate, create, celebrate and celebrate among the barmen of the most “cocktail” city in Italy – Milan. So for May 13 – a day dedicated to cocktails and the art of bartenders all over the world – mixology experts are going wild. Sometimes focusing on the Milanese saffron tradition, which has little to do with cocktails, but which allows you to enjoy the scent of the stigmas of this flower in an unusual way.
Thus was born the cocktail Cadorna, from the meeting of Mag, the cocktail bar born on the Milanese canals and Leprotto, the best known company for the production of saffron. The recipe is also guided by the spring / summer 2021 trends in drinking, which recover liqueurs and spirits from yesteryear such as rhubarb, vermouth but also chinotto, gazzosa and flavored syrups to create new recipes or twist on the great classics.
The result of this meeting? Wonderful. To be tried at Mag in its two city locations, Navigli or La Pusterla, or to be made at home. Here is the recipe:
