A great meal is one experience. A great cocktail is another. But when you combine them, it becomes a memory. We believe the "Tinto" in our name is about more than just wine; it’s about the art of the perfect drink. Our bar is a place for handcrafted creations, and we’re highlighting four signature cocktails to try this week.
The Brunetta Spritz
Our signature take on a timeless classic. This spritz is a vibrant and refreshing aperitif, perfectly designed to awaken your palate. We blend prosecco, Aperol, and a subtle hint of elderflower liqueur for a floral note. Served with a fragrant rosemary sprig, it’s the sophisticated start to any evening.
The Tuscan Old Fashioned
For those who appreciate a spirit-forward classic, we’ve given the Old Fashioned an Italian twist. We use Amaro Montenegro in place of simple syrup, adding a complex, bittersweet herbal note that pairs beautifully with bourbon. Stirred to perfection and served over a large-format ice cube with an orange peel, it’s a modern masterpiece.
The Sicilian Mule
We're bringing a fiery, vibrant taste of Sicily to this popular cocktail. This isn't your average mule. We combine premium vodka with the deep, rich flavor of blood orange juice and top it with a spicy ginger beer for a sharp, invigorating kick. It's refreshing, bold, and a new favorite.
The Milano Espresso Martini
The perfect end to a meal, or the perfect start to a long night. We've perfected our espresso martini using a premium, locally sourced espresso, high-quality vodka, and a touch of vanilla. Shaken hard to create a rich, velvety foam, this is the elegant pick-me-up you've been looking for.
From a refreshing spritz to a rich espresso martini, our handcrafted cocktails in McAllen are designed to elevate your experience. Whether you're joining us for a full dinner or just for drinks at the bar, we have a seat and a signature creation waiting for you. Come find your new favorite at Brunetta Tinto & Pasta.
