Disaronno and Diesel: When two iconic Italians collaborate

Disaronno

You can drink it straight, add a dash to your coffee, make cocktails with it and even add a splash to your G&T. With its almond base, Amaretto is one of those liqueurs that divides people. You’re either a fan, or not. And that’s okay, because that in itself is a great conversation piece over a tipple. But for those who love a traditional sweet Italian almond flavoured liqueur, you’ll want to consider having a bottle of Disaronno in the cabinet for those times you feel like a hit of sweet, sweet Italy.  Rich, but delicate, Disaronno is flavoured by a combination of herbs and spices that are then soaked in apricot kernel oil. And for something a little different, there is now a “Disaronno wears Diesel” – Limited Edition bottle run – with a bold, ironic style that shows Disaronno’s instantly recognizable logo wrapped in Diesel’s signature denim pattern. The design is a reflection of the brands shared approach towards creativity and originality.  While this isn’t the first Disaronno x Diesel partnership, there is a newly created ‘Disaronno wears Diesel’ cocktail to celebrate their latest collaboration.  INGREDIENTS: 50 ml Disaronno 20 ml Jamaica Rum overproof 30 ml Lime Juice 20 ml Passion Fruit syrup 8 Mint leaves Crushed Ice Mint sprig and raspberry METHOD:  Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the ingredients, shake vigorously and strain into a chilled glass filled with ice. Garnish with mint leaves and a single raspberry.
