Is it possible to fulfill this brief: to create a brand that every single Italian, who lives in Italy and abroad, when they see the bottle and read the name, is going to make them proud? Our guest not only fulfilled his own brief but also has the whole world wanting it. I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is, Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time. Giuseppe Gallo is a drinks industry legend, from overseeing the place to be, the Sanderson Hotel Long Bar in London, to gathering awards as the Global Brand Ambassador of Martini, one of the most iconic brands in the world. Now he’s masterminded the creation of https://rosolioitalicus.com/ (Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto) from a historical Italian recipe that hadn’t been consumed for almost 100 years. Today I sit down with him to have a deep dive into what Italicus tastes like, how to use it to make incredible cocktails, and how he created a spirit that every Italian can be proud of. But before we get started and If you live in the UK, then head on over to https://tidd.ly/3rlUQzc (Spiritskiosk.com) for your bottle of Italicus.
