1pt Rossa Americano Recipe

1pt Rossa Americano
This cocktail takes its cues from the classic Americano, layering vodka with a vibrant infusion of hibiscus, grapefruit zest, orange zest, and Omani lime. The infusion adds a bittersweet, zesty edge that pairs beautifully with the rich sweetness of red vermouth. Finished with a splash of club soda, it’s lively, complex, and perfect for warm evenings or gatherings where a touch of Italian-inspired elegance is just what the moment calls for. Effortlessly batchable for easy enjoyment.
