Are you sipping the…? The Crimson Silk from Riunite that’s inspired by The Devil Wears Prada? Yes, we are.
André Mack, the mixologist who created the fashion-leaning cocktail, says the cocktail could be compared to a slow jazz ballad.
This sip is intended to be sophisticated, smooth and impactful—not unlike some of the most iconic styles seen in the movie that originally made waves in 2006 and its sequel, which is now-in-theaters.
“The build for this drink is Lambrusco, rye whiskey, lemon juice, syrup and egg white,” Mack says.
The egg white’s glossy texture joins with the Lambrusco’s fizz built on whiskey, which serves as the drink’s backbone, Mack says.
For those looking to bring a bit of “Runway”-level glamour to their own bar cart, Mack and Riunite shared the recipe with Appetito.
