I thought I would post a few cocktail – or polibibita – recipes in honor of summer:
Inventina
by Marinetti
1/3 Asti Spumante
1/3 pineapple liqueur
1/3 chilled orange juice
Alcoholic Joust
by Prampolini
2/4 dry red Barbara wine
1/4 citronade
1/4 Campari bitters
– Into the liquid put a square of cheese and a square of chocolate threaded on a toothpick.
More-Less-By-Division
by Saladin
1 candied chestnut
1 part rose liqueur
1 part pineapple liqueur
1 part liqueur of thyme or serpolet
Fire In The Mouth
by Barosi
At the bottom of a glass: whisky with liqueur cherries, previously rolled in cayenne pepper. Next layer: milk and honey or honey (1 cm thick) forming an impermeable division. On top of the honey: alkermes, vermouth and Strega.
Now go stock up your bar – or quisibeve!
More recipes may be found in Marinetti’s The Futurist Cookbook.
I think I’d go for the Alcoholic Joust. Fire In The Mouth sounds a bit much.
Wowza. Anyone who can procure all the ingredients for the More-Less-by-Division is a hero to me…
No Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster? For shame!
