Discover the Rio Negro

Description

Discover the Rio Negro, a drink with a refreshing taste and a mysterious appearance. This cocktail consists of two distinct layers and is named in honor of the Rio Negro, where dark waters blend with the clear waters of the Solimões River to form the mighty Amazon River.

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 ice cubes
• Tonic water
• 4 cl of Brasilberg
• Lemon slices
• Fresh herbs
• Cocktail stirrer

Preparation

1. Prepare the Glass:

   • Add 2 to 3 ice cubes to a long drink glass to keep the beverage chilled.

2. First Layer:

   • Fill half of the glass with tonic water, creating the clear and effervescent first layer.

3. Second Layer:

   • Slowly pour 4 cl of Brasilberg over the back of a spoon or by slightly tilting the glass. This will allow the Brasilberg to gently flow down, forming a separate dark layer, maintaining the visual distinction between the two layers.

4. Final Touch:

   • Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs to add an aromatic and visual appeal to your drink.

5. Serving:

   • Serve the drink with a cocktail stirrer. Instruct your guests to gently stir the cocktail just before enjoying it to appreciate the initial contrast of the layers.

Tips

• Presentation: For an even more impressive visual effect, use a transparent glass to make the distinct layers clearly visible.
• Herbs: Experiment with fresh herbs like mint or basil to complement the flavor of Brasilberg.
