Cucumbers have myriad uses beyond that of erstwhile ingredient in your humble deli salad. They also reduce puffiness around the eyes, and give leather shoes a healthy waterproof patina. The classic teatime snack of English society’s croquet set is cucumber sandwiches made from sliced white bread (with the crusts sliced off). In Scotland, Hendrick’s Gin infuses its product with cucumber and rose petal, giving birth to something we like to call the Cucumber Martini. Try it this Thursday! As you can see from the photo below, it already has the royal seal of approval.

Italian vodka might seem about as likely as Russian pizza, but if you think about it, the two aren’t such an improbable pairing. I Spirit has successfully married the pure sophistication of high-quality vodka with the style-driven lifestyle for which Italy is known. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the fact that the product is the result of an unexpected collaboration between Harry’s Bar owner Arrigo Cipriani, entrepreneur and Agnelli heir Lapo Elkann and spirit distillers Marco Fantinel and Francesco Cosulich.
Made in the town of Spilimbergo, north-east of Venice in the province of Pordenone, this delicate vodka is made from the finest grains and selected white wines from Friuli, a region celebrated for its superb winemaking heritage. The spirit is distilled five times and reaches a 40% alcohol level thanks to the addition of crystalline water from the Dolomites. I Spirit Vodka was launched in Venice just two years ago and — with Cesare Martini as U.S. brand manager — has since become a hit in the United States. I Spirit’s U.S. representatives will be at Vino this Thursday to present this versatile vodka: what better way to start the weekend… Italian style!

Although it’s true that no two amari are alike, Cardamaro from Piemonte is definitely one of the most interesting. Producer Giovanni Bosca uses wine from his estate as the base for this amaro. He then infuses the wine with two very curious ingredients – cardoon, which is a relative of the artichoke, and Blessed Thistle, which was once used in the middle ages to treat the bubonic plague. The distillate then rests in new oak for at least six months. The resulting spirit is less bitter than many amari, with a smooth, nutty, candied winter spice quality to it. We’ll be concocting our own cardoon cocktail this Thursday!
