Orange & Truffle Mocktail (non-alcoholic aperitif with orange juice and truffle)

Ingredients (for 2 glasses)

- 200 ml fresh orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed)

- 100 ml cold tonic water (or soda, for a lighter touch)

- 1 teaspoon of artisan honey Lina sapori e Delizie (optional, if the orange is very acidic)

- 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar of Modena pearls with white truffle Lina sapori e Delizie (or a few drops of white truffle sauce Lina sapori e Delizie diluted in cold water)

- ice cubes

- organic orange peel for decoration

- sprigs of fresh rosemary

Preparation

1. Fill the glasses with 2-3 ice cubes.
2. Pour in the cold orange juice.
3. Add the tonic water for a sparkling note.
4. Sweeten with a drizzle of honey if necessary.
5. Finish with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar pearls with truffle: they will slowly sink, creating a scenic effect and releasing aroma.
6. Decorate with a sprig of rosemary and an orange peel spiral.

Why it works

- Orange provides freshness and vitamins.

- Truffle balsamic vinegar pearls transform a simple drink into a gourmet aperitif.

- It's visually appealing: the contrast between the golden juice and the dark pearls immediately catches the eye.
