Winter

The Snowday is a contemporary stirred cocktail combining vodka, Amaro Montenegro, ruby port, blood orange juice, and Angostura bitters, strained over fresh ice and garnished with an expressed orange peel. It is a bittersweet, complex drink that layers Italian amaro herbal notes with the wine depth of ruby port and the bright citrus of blood orange. The name evokes a winter mood, appropriate to its warming, spirit-forward character.

History & Origins

The Snowday is a modern craft cocktail of disputed origin, representative of the early 21st-century craft bartending movement that embraced amaro and fortified wine as cocktail components. The combination of Amaro Montenegro, a Bologna-produced botanical liqueur, with ruby port and blood orange juice reflects the influence of Italian aperitivo culture on contemporary mixology. No single creator or institution is formally credited.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Herbal and floral from the Amaro Montenegro, with ruby port's dried fruit and blood orange's bright, tangy citrus. Palate: Complex and bittersweet, with amaro's herbal-floral complexity balanced by port's fruity depth and blood orange's tartness; Angostura bitters adds a spiced backbone. Finish: Medium-long, drying, and herbal with lingering orange peel and bitters spice.

Pro Tip

Express the orange peel over the surface before garnishing to release the essential oils and accentuate the drink's aromatic complexity.
