"Portofino & Tonic": the cocktail of the summer

Crystal clear water, perfumed air, golden beaches, breathtaking cliffs and exclusive stores: describing in a few words a wonderful Italian jewel like Portofino is not easy, but we have tried to enclose all its impressive features in this cocktail that is perfect to enjoy an unforgettable summer. 


The ingredients are fresh, exquisite and of the highest quality thanks to its undeniable uniqueness. What makes Portofino gin special? Undoubtedly, its production: it is made with typical Mediterranean herbs, spices, berries and flowers, grown and harvested by hand on the mountain of Portofino.


After careful selection, juniper, lemon, lavender, rosemary, iris, marjoram and sage are separately subjected to a light maceration and then distilled in a copper still. 

 The distillates are then blended, creating the unique blend of Portofino gin: balanced, smooth, citrusy, with notes of juniper and spices, and all made unique by light floral hints.


The perfect accompaniment for this summer is this glamorous Italian cocktail.
