For this Christmas Holidays my blog-partner Jennifer and I decided to reinvent a few Italian festive recipes with the intent of making them a little bit lighter and healthier.
Jennifer Cauli is a friend and a talented food & travel photographer who also comes from Italy. Together we joined forces to create a series of recipes (and pictures) that would use the typical Italian ingredients, but also have a contemporary and healthy twist.
We are very happy of our project and we hope to continue offering you great recipe ideas.
Of course I know that, as a nutritionist, I shouldn’t recommend to drink alcohol… but this cocktail has vitamin C in it! 😀
To be honest with you, the rational I use for alcohol is the same I use for sugar – cheat foods are non-healthy foods that become “healthy” on an emotional level, therefore if drinking a glass of wine once in a while makes you happy… DO IT!
This drink has been created from another Italian friend, Alessandro Viscardi who is an amazing mixologist. He combined and slightly changed the French 75 & the Breakfast Martini recipes. The result is a delicate sweet & sour cocktail with a vibrant colour.

20 ml fresh lemon juice
10 g clementine jam
