1. CARUSO GIMLET

You can sip the Caruso Gimlet at the Loggiato Bar of the Belmond Hotel Caruso, in Ravello, while enjoying the amazing view, included in the price. 

The barman Tommaso Mansi, inspired by the classic Gimlet cocktail, makes his special more fragrant, combining gin with freshly squeezed Amalfi Sfusato Lemon juice, homemade limoncello, and a zest of lemon, instead of the traditional lime juice. It is served in a very elegant cocktail glass and has a remarkable flavor: a remake in a proper Amalfi Coast style!
