Sprezzatura Royale

"Sprezzatura refers to the stylishly disheveled look perfected by Italian men," says mixologist Joaquín Simó. "An artfully misknotted tie, an elegantly askew collar, mismatched socks—all done with a devil-may-care attitude." This Amaro-based sour topped with sparkling rosé embodies casual elegance.
