The Donatella Cocktail

Donatella Cocktail Recipe

Celebrity chef, restauranteur and Next Iron Chef judge Donatella Arpaia has partnered with Italian winemaker Martini to serve as the brand’s culinary and entertaining expert. To kick things off, she's created her signature cocktail, The Donatella. The tasty new libation includes Martini Bianco and Prosecco, cucumber, basil, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and Grey Goose Vodka, all served on ice and garnished with a Campari tomato. It's like summer in cocktail form.
