2020 has been a tough year for the horeca sector. Cocktail enthusiasts have been drinking at home but the creativity of the bartenders does not stop as these three cocktails testify. A journey through different flavors and colours, exploring the vast and varied world of mixing with the creations of bartenders Leandro Serra (bar manager of The Duke Cocktail Lounge Bar of La Maddalena - Sassari), Sabina Yausheva and Simone Mina (head bartender of Ch 18 87).
