The Bonaventure by Maximiliano Vallée Valletta

After ou interview with Maximiliano Vallée Valletta, who is now general manager and ambassador for Club Local, the brand behind White Keys vodka, the Rhum Saint-Marie, the Gin Portage and the brand new Les Îles aperitif, we were presented the The Bonaventure by Maximiliano Vallée Valletta.

The story behind the Bonaventure by Maximiliano Vallée Valletta

So Maximiliano, where does the inspiration for the cocktail come from?

Yes, I did Le Bonaventure, the latter is a cocktail that is a little representative of me. As I drink Old Fashioned all the time, I also like the Negroni and the appetizer is really what I like. What I did was a Vesper twist. Gin and vodka, but aperitivo with an olive. I like what is a little stronger in alcohol, it can be a little like a martini. I made a Vesper twist with the White Keys vodka.

The recipe to succeed the Bonaventure of Maximiliano Vallée Valletta

Ingredients for the cocktail:

• ½ Oz White Keys
• ½ Oz Portage Dry Gin
• 1 Oz Les Îles
• 1 olive
• 1 orange zest

Preparation for the cocktail:

• Pour the 3 alcohols into a glass (we use the one from Alambika) to mix with a large ice cream
• Sweat the ice well enough to cool the cocktail.
  (Maximiliano suggests the ice made by Les Marchands, a Quebec-based ice company)
• Transfer everything in a glass and decorate with an olive and an orange zest.
• And it’s ready.

To do at home. Enjoy!
