Cocktail Description

The Covadonga transforms the classic bitter cocktail into a juicy, fruit-forward sipper that even Negroni skeptics will embrace.

This ruby-red beauty balances the familiar bittersweet notes of Campari with fresh orange juice and a touch of pomegranate from real grenadine, creating a cocktail that's simultaneously sophisticated and approachable. The sweet vermouth adds depth and complexity while the aromatic bitters tie everything together with subtle spice notes. Perfect for summer evenings or as an aperitif before a special dinner, this cocktail works equally well for casual gatherings or more formal occasions. Home bartenders will find it surprisingly simple to prepare—just shake, strain, and garnish with an orange slice for a professional-looking presentation. The Covadonga pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes like antipasti platters, grilled fish with citrus, or even spicier fare like Moroccan tagines, as its fruity sweetness balances heat while the bitter elements cleanse the palate.
