This sparkling cocktail looks the picture of luxury with its gorgeous autumnal hues. The recipe is based on the Breakfast Martini, said to have been created by the famous bartender Salvatore Calabrese. This slightly dry cocktail is characterised by its citrus notes and its perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. We’ve taken some creative licence with the classic ingredients and named our version the ‘MVSA Breakfast.’ Like any perfect breakfast, this creation can be prepared in just a few minutes.
