I love making cocktails! Especially when I have great ingredients to play with. Hotel STARLINO Cocktails are the perfect way to celebrate the holidays and will keep the festive mood going all season long. The Hotel STARLINO Vermouth and Apertivos range hails from Torino, Italy – the birthplace of Vermouth. They recently launched in the US and with only 17% ABV are a great low alcohol alternative to the classic cocktail.

Cocktails With Hotel STARLINO

STARLINO Rosso is a classic “Vermouth di Torino” made from a blend of Italian wines combined with botanicals like wormwood, bitter orange and cloves before it is aged in Bourbon Barrels for six months to give a rich, spicy, vanilla flavor. 

STARLINO Rosé is a delightful and refreshing aperitivo, made by blending Rosé wine, spirit, pink grapefruit peel, orange peel and 8 other botanicals. I really taste the pink grapefruit and have been enjoying it with club soda on ice.

STARLINO Maraschino Cherries are de-stoned, plump, ruby red cherries made from Italian Marasaca Cherries which produce a small “pop” after every bite. STARLINO Maraschino Cherries are the perfect bartender-standard cocktail garnish for Manhattans or Negronis and the syrup is delicious drizzled over ice cream or cheesecakes for a decadent holiday dessert.
