Death in Venice

This fatal cocktail with an elixir of prosecco was first created in 2010 by Tony Conigliaro, founder of ‘The Bar With No Name’, one of the finest cocktail bars in London. 

We consider this stunning ruby red drink an excellent filler for that stopgap between lunch and dinner. You are hosting your friends, you’re all hungry, but there’s still some time to kill before the dinner while y’all take swings on your PlayStation controllers. This lethal combination of Campari, grapefruit, prosecco, and orange will serve as an excellent aperitif, allowing you to enjoy hors d’oeuvres before that dinner table sets in. 

To get that amplified hit from this cocktail, we’d suggest serving this stunning drink with some yummylicious smoked salmon canapés.
