This cocktail by Ranjula Wickrama, mixologist at the boutique hotel Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1 in Florence is inspired by views of the sunset and Florence from the rooftop terrace of the hotel. Vodka represents Italy’s summer heat while soda and ice quench the dryness of summer, and lemon represents the sun. Passionfruit sets off the drink and makes it special, just like the sunset over Florence.
