Capira

Capira is a cocktail drink that I mixed for our Second Anniversary.  It consists in a very similar style to Martini, but with a mix there. 

How was the mix?

I started using the normal base of a Martini, what consists in Dry Gin and Dry Vermouth. 

• Spirit 

The Spirit was a mix of Dry Gin with Cappelletti, what also play a role in the sweetness.

• Sweetness 

The Cappelletti as was mentioned, it is playing its part here and playing with the Dry Vermouth what helps and links very well with the Dry Gin, I feel they are doing their job.

• Acidity and/or bitterness 

As acidity a few drops of lime juice mixing with a few drops of Orange bitter, allows a fun game of flavors what smooth the flavors and you can really enjoy!

• Dilution

If you want it to really enjoy it as a very smooth drink, shake it with the Blood Orange juice and a lot of ice! 

• Glassware

Serve them in coupes. The red of the drink in a blue glass looks very pretty.
