Cocktail Recipe:: Martini Royale Bianca

There is nothing like an icy cocktail on a spring day, and this Martini Royale Bianca is one of my favorites. You’ll love it!

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit the Martini factory. Some of you might know the brand as Martini and Rossi, but in Europe it’s simply known as Martini. The factory is beautiful. It’s built on the foundation of the original factory which was a mansion with a vast wine cellar that acted as the test lab for the original vermouth recipe. Talk about history!

One of the drinks we tried during the trip was the Martini Royale Bianca. Give it a try for yourself using my recipe below!
