Italian Sunset

The Italian Sunset cocktail is a delightful twist on the classic 1970s Jungle Bird cocktail. This vibrant and flavorful drink features the rich and smooth notes of aged rum, harmoniously blended with the bittersweet complexity of Campari, the subtle nuttiness of fino sherry, and the natural sweetness of honey syrup. A hint of salt adds a delightful contrast, while a garnish of pineapple sage enhances the aromatic experience.
