La vie en rose is a symbolic cocktail of its kind, being one of those choices that is never missing from menus but which, from bar to bar, is customised to the utmost. The philosophy of this drink is the same (enhancing the floral flavours of the ingredients through a peculiar colour tending to pink) but it is available in countless versions depending on the versatility of the bartenders. Among the variants of La vie en rose, the one proposed by Smile Tree is a must-try.
La vie en rose: the exaltation of floral tones, colours and flavours
There are cocktails that are unmistakable and that, thanks to the composition of fixed ingredients, create a specific blend of flavours that is difficult to customise. And then there are those drinks that, while remaining true to themselves and the philosophy for which they were created, can vary without ever really distorting themselves.
Take, for example, La vie en rose, one of the best known and most popular cocktails which, despite its single origin, is available in countless variations. The idea behind it is to create a product that enhances the floral flavours and aromas on the one hand, and the typical colours of the flower on the other. Thus, in addition to grappa or vermouth as the base of the drink, rosewater infusions or syrups can be used to recreate the beauty of a rose in a cocktail glass.
La vie en rose, named after the famous song by Edith Piaf, thus enhances the flavours and colours of nature, beauty and femininity. A product recreated in numerous variations according to the creativity and style of each bartender, who revisits the original recipe in his or her own way.
La vie en rose: try the variant proposed by Smile Tree
Smile Tree also offers a rather original variant of La vie en rose on its menu. Here too, there is no lack of colours, flavours and floral tones to decorate and embellish the cocktail, albeit with a recipe that calls for the mixing of three main ingredients. In addition to smoked vermouth fumigà (the real Turin vermouth proposed by Smile Tree), our La vie en rose also combines rose-infused Campari with port.
The combination of these ingredients restores to our palate the unmistakable flavour of vermouth combined with Campari, which, combined in an original way with the taste of roses, creates a unique product. Among the countless existing versions of La vie en rose, come and try ours and treat yourself to the privilege of an absolutely unmissable olfactory and gustatory experience.
