The lemon is the key element to make a lot of cocktails, and in the land where lemons are the excellence, it becomes the main protagonist.
The innovative mixologists who work on the Amalfi Coast have created truly unmissable drinks, using the famous PGI Amalfi Coast lemons typical of this magical land. This citrus fruit, which immediately recalls the smells of the Coast, is very fragrant, and combined with different booze has a very particular taste. Thanks to the dreamy locations, the unique views, the festive atmosphere that reigns in these areas, and the skill of their creators, these drinks will make your aperitifs truly unique!

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!
