Gelato Cocktails

Gelato & Cocktail: an unexpected pairing

Artisanal gelato continues to evolve, offering new and fascinating taste experiences.
Among the most refined and on-trend ideas is the meeting of gelato and mixology: gelato inspired by classic cocktails.

A creative, elegant, and entirely unexpected way to enjoy gelato — making it the star of the aperitif or the perfect end to a gourmet meal.


Sorbet with the soul of a cocktail

Imagine a gin and tonic sorbet — fresh, aromatic, and crisp. Or an ice-spritz served in a coupe glass, light and fragrant, perfect for warm summer evenings.
Or perhaps a mojito gelato with lime and fresh mint, bursting with citrusy, herbal notes.
For the more adventurous palate, there’s even sorbet made with craft beer: bold yet balanced, surprising with every spoonful.
