18 Top Italicus Cocktail Recipes

Starting off, we have a fun twist on one of the all-time best classic cocktails -- the Negroni! Negronis are typically made with equal parts gin, vermouth, and Campari, which gives the drink its signature red color.

The Negroni Bianco is a white version of the Negroni that subs out Campari for Italicus. The result is a Negroni that's a little sweeter, less bitter, and more floral.

If you're bored of gin and tonics, mix things up by making an Italicus and tonic! It'll be sweeter and more herbal than a classic G&T. It's also much lighter since Italicus is only 20% ABV, so it makes for a perfect aperitivo!

If you need a drink that will impress any cocktail aficionado, this will do the job and then some! It follows a pretty standard sour recipe, and the ingredients are Italicus, gin, lemon juice, camomile syrup, and egg white.

The citrus and bittersweetness of the Italicus pairs perfectly with the earthy, warm camomile. It's one of my favorite sours I've had recently, so give it a try and thank me later!

This recipe is perfect if you want to make a martini just a little more interesting! As the name implies, it's a classic martini recipe with a Sicilian twist.

Ingredients are gin, Italicus, dry vermouth, and lemon bitters. It's refreshing, citrusy, and such a fun way to zhuzh up a basic martini!

There's nothing more refreshing than a good spritz! This is a super simple but delicious spritz that only requires two ingredients: Italicus and Prosecco. (Technically you could use any sparkling wine, but it makes the most sense to use an Italian wine with an Italian liqueur!)

Garnish with some green olives to balance out the sweetness of the Italicus and also add a nice salinity.

Here's another tasty spritz that's a little bit fancier, but still super easy to make! Ingredients are grapefruit juice, Italicus, Campari, and sparkling wine.

Compared to the classic spritz, it'll be more fruity and tart from the grapefruit juice, and a little more bitter thanks to the Campari.

Italicus is such a great ingredient for margaritas since it has strong citrus notes and complements the agave sweetness of tequila wonderfully!

All you need is Italicus, blanco tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar. I love a good marg, and the Italicus adds a fun Mediterranean flair and flavor!

This recipe takes a basic spritz to the next level thanks to Empress Gin, which is a Canadian gin with a gorgeous indigo hue.

Empress Gin is made with rose petals and black tea, so its floral and herbal flavors work like an absolute dream with Italicus. Other ingredients are pomegranate-sage syrup, lemon juice, and cava. The flavors are complex and unexpected, and it looks so beautiful in a glass garnished with olives!

This drink is as beautiful as it is delicious! All you need to make it is Italicus, gin, raspberry cordial, and lemon juice. Perfect for warm days or whenever you want to treat yourself to a gorgeous, tasty cocktail!

The flavors in this drink are pretty wild, which is probably why I like it so much! The four ingredients you need are scotch, Italicus, gentian liqueur (like Suze), and honey syrup.

The Italicus complements the bitter gentian liqueur and sweet honey syrup beautifully, while the boozy bite of the scotch rounds it all out.

This cocktail is perfect for the summertime, but it also has a super festive color that would make it fun for the holidays!

To make it, you need Italicus, gin, basil syrup, cucumber juice, and lemon juice. Refreshing, sweet, and tart all at once!

Speaking of the holidays, this cocktail packs ALL the festive flavors into one glass. It's essentially a gin Old Fashioned with notes of chocolate and cherry. Sounds amazing, right!? Ingredients are Empress Gin, Italicus, maraschino liqueur, creme de cacao, and orange bitters.

This recipe from Four Roses uses bourbon as the base spirit, which you won't normally see paired with Italicus but sounds so tasty!

Aside from bourbon and Italicus, you just need lemon juice, sumac syrup (which you can buy online), and Peychaud's bitters. Sumac and Italicus go together wonderfully since they both have floral, citrusy notes, and the sumac syrup will also add a nice, sharp tartness to the drink.

This cocktail is a smoky, tart, bittersweet explosion of flavor! It's basically a super fancy Paloma, which is a drink made with tequila, grapefruit juice or soda, and lime juice.

This interpretation of the classic cocktail uses mezcal, Italicus, grapefruit juice, Aperol, and rosemary-grapefruit-peppercorn bitters. (In a pinch, rosemary, grapefruit, or peppercorn bitters alone would work great too!)

This recipe is a little more advanced since it requires more niche ingredients, but don't let that scare you away! It's a more tropical take on a spritz that uses Italicus, pineapple liqueur, vermouth, citric acid solution, root beer bitters, and tonic water.

Garnish with an orange peel to tie all of the flavors and aromas together, and you have yourself a truly impressive cocktail!

This recipe comes from Patrón, but you can use any tequila you have on hand! Your ingredients are Italicus, reposado tequila, apple juice, lime juice, simple syrup, Suze liqueur, and tonic water.

Though the cocktail's name references summertime, the flavors from the apple and Suze remind me of a fall margarita. YUM.

Who needs a mimosa when you could have a delicious King's Breakfast!?

This clever cocktail is made with Italicus, gin, lemon juice, and strawberry jam. If you prefer to drink your brunch, this is a cocktail you absolutely need to try!

I always love a good beer cocktail, and this is one of my absolute favorites. It's only two ingredients: an IPA of your choice and Italicus.

The Italicus adds a light honey sweetness while also complementing the bitter hops and citrus notes of the IPA. It's beyond refreshing and perfect for warm weather, but I drink it year round because it's just that tasty!
