I’ve always believed in the magic of simple combinations, and this Italian Ice Tea cocktail proves it beautifully. The aromatic vermouth marries perfectly with the bubbly ginger ale, creating a drink that’s both refreshing and elegant. Each sip feels like a little escape to a sun-drenched piazza in Italy, and trust me, you’ll be reaching for another before you know it.
Vermouth (such as Martini Rosso): This aromatic fortified wine provides the rich, herbal foundation for the cocktail. If you’re out of Martini Rosso, any sweet red vermouth will work. Ginger Ale: Adds effervescence and a zesty ginger kick. If you’re looking to switch things up, try using ginger beer for a more robust flavor or club soda for a less sweet option. Ice: Essential for chilling the drink and diluting it just a touch. Always use fresh ice for the best taste. If you want to elevate the presentation, consider using large ice cubes or spheres.
