How to Drink El Bandarra with Alex Virgili

Where in the world does an hour turn into the whole day. Every Saturday and Sunday from 12 - 3, the Barcelonians, surrounded by their friends and family, spend the entire afternoon sipping vermouth before lunch even begins. Today’s guest is gunning for the whole world to embrace La Hora del Vermut!

Exporting cultural traditions is not an easy task; it is made slightly simpler when that tradition revolves around drinking. Alex Virgili, General Manager of El Bandarra, had me longing for La Hora de Vermut, and it wasn’t even the weekend.

Born into a wine-making family, he is on a mission to make wine-drinking fun by taking those traditions of the past and reinventing them to enjoy today.

He’s with me to reveal a few of these traditions.

Our cocktail of the week is the Al Fresco Spritz:

INGREDIENTS

  • 30ml El Bandarra Al Fresco
  • 60ml Tonic
  • Slice of orange

METHOD

  • Add the Al Fresco to a glass filled with ice
  • Top up with the tonic
  • Mix gently
  • Garnish a slice of orange
  • Enjoy it Barcelona style.

You’ll find this recipe, more vermouth cocktails, and all the cocktails of the week at alushlifemanual.com, where you’ll also find all the ingredients in our shop.
