A Taste of Amalfi at Charlie's restaurant and the Donovan Bar at Brown's

If the recent haute couture shows by the likes of Chanel in Florence, Gucci in Puglia and Dolce & Gabbana in Sicily left you craving warm Italian sunshine and the zing of Riviera lemons, then look no further than Charlie's and the Donovan Bar at Brown's.

This September, Michelin-starred chef Adam Byatt's signature lemon tart and the maestro of mixology Salvatore Calabrese's Amalfi Dream cocktail are bound to put a spring in your step ahead of a spot of shopping on Bond Street or after a busy day at London Fashion Week.

Alternatively, why not try making Salvatore's delicious cocktail first concocted during a family barbeque in his hometown of Maiori on the Amalfi coast yourself? Here's how...

Ingredients:

50 ml vodka

20 ml Salvatore’s Liquore Di Limone or a good quality limoncello

20 ml freshly squeezed juice from Amalfi lemons

3-4 mint leaves

The method:

In a cocktail shaker, add all the ingredients along with ice, as desired. Next, shake sharply so the ice breaks through the mint leaves. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice, allowing bits of mint leaves to flow in. Finally, garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of an Amalfi lemon. Salute!
