What is the bartender tip for a Carmim?
A young, dry red holds up to the limoncello without turning into sweet juice. The 30 ml of limoncello already sweetens and brings lemon citrus — no extra syrup needed. If it gets cloying, add 10 ml more soda or cut 5 ml of limoncello. Stir the limoncello into the wine before the soda; after that, just one turn. The dehydrated orange is for aroma; the orange juice is for body.
