Dolche Rosso – Foodbuzz Blogger Festival 2009
Last week we had the pleasure to attend the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in San Francisco.
Skyy Vodka supplied the cocktails created and served by several of San Francisco’s top mixologists.
The weekend was a wonder of gastronomic delight. It started with rooftop party at The Hotel Vitale, followed by a dinner of SF street food at the Ferry Building. And that was just Friday! The next day began with brunch at the Ferry Building Farmers Market.
Next, it was on to the afternoon tasting at City View Room in the Metreon. Imagine a room awash with cocktails, microbrews, amazing food and products. That night, Greenleaf Produce Warehouse hosted a dinner and awards ceremony. The event wrapped up with a nice Sunday brunch, complete with a DIY Bloody Mary Bar, which came in handy after Saturday night.
At the Metreon, we ran into Dominic, who was shaking up batches of a savory cocktail called the “Dolce Rosso.” Made with muddled SKYY Vodka, Mezzetta roasted peppers, fresh strawberries, fresh basil, agave nectar, orange juice and spices, the Dolce Rosso comes out a dark orange or red depending on strawberry content. The peppers and basil give it quite a savory kick that plays well with sweetness of the strawberries.
Take a look as Dominic makes the Dolche Rosso in this video:
