Cocktail

1 1/2 oz amaro (medium-bodied, such as Montenegro or Averna)1 oz blanc (white) vermouth1/2 oz fresh aloe vera juice or aloe mixer1/2 oz fresh lemon juice2 dashes orange bitters

Top / Garnish

2 oz sparkling wine (dry Prosecco or Cava) or champagne1 piece orange twist (for garnish)1 to taste edible poppy petals or micro) (optional)1 to taste ice

Method

Cocktail

Mix base

Add the amaro, blanc vermouth, aloe vera juice, and fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.

Add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill well) and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until chilled and slightly diluted.

Double-strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a chilled large wine glass or stemmed tulip glass filled halfway with fresh ice. Double-straining removes any aloe pulp or small ice shards for a silky mouthfeel.

Top / Finish

Gently top the strained cocktail with about 2 oz chilled sparkling wine to create a bright effervescence. Pour slowly so the bubbles integrate without over-foaming.

Express an orange twist over the glass (pinch the peel skin-side down to release oils) and rub the peel briefly around the rim, then drop the twist into the drink.

If using edible poppy petals or a micro herb, float them lightly on top for a delicate visual and aromatic accent.

Serve immediately with a short stir if needed to combine the top layer, and enjoy.
