Strong Citrus

Nombrado por el famoso volcan italiano, la combinacion de la espuma de clara de huevo con los citricos sugiere tanto ligereza como energia volcanica latente.

History & Origins

The Vesuvio is a classic cocktail of disputed origin, though its name and style suggest Italian or Neapolitan bar culture, where the volcano Vesuvius is an enduring cultural symbol. It appears in mid-20th century cocktail guides as a rum-vermouth sour variant. The specific combination of rum, sweet vermouth, and egg white reflects a style of cocktail common in the first half of the 20th century.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh lemon zest with light rum's sugarcane sweetness and sweet vermouth's herbal, fruit character. Palate: Silky from the egg white foam, with a tart-sweet citrus profile created by lemon juice and powdered sugar; sweet vermouth adds a subtle wine depth and herbal complexity that distinguishes the drink from a plain rum sour. Finish: Clean, tart, and slightly sweet with lingering citrus and vermouth.
