COCKTAIL RECIPE
Rosita
Rosita is an aromatic and powerful classic cocktail made with tequila, vermouth and Campari. It is similar to the Negroni family, but the use of tequila gives the drink a warmer and more characterful profile.
The Rosita cocktail is a drink that emerged in the cocktail world in the 1970s and is considered one of the most important examples of tequila-based classics. The recipe first appeared in The Bartender's Bible, published by Gary Regan in 1974. This book is one of the most important sources influential in the development of modern cocktail culture.
Rosita's structure is influenced by classic cocktails such as the Negroni and Manhattan. The distinct bitter flavor of Campari combines with the balance of sweet and dry vermouth. Tequila gives the drink a distinctive warm and earthy character. This combination creates a more complex and aromatic drink than the usual tequila cocktail.
