As the new Superman movie prepares to soar into theaters on July 11, we’ve crafted a cocktail to honor the Man of Steel — and his singular weakness. Introducing Superman’s Kryptonite Cocktail, a drink that’ll become your Kryptonite too with its mix of addictive sophistication. This vibrant concoction brings together the crispness of gin, the depth of Luxardo Del Santo, the sweet allure of maraschino liqueur, and finishes with a powerful punch of fresh lime juice. Its glowing hue and complex flavors will have you feeling super rather than vulnerable. Now all you need is Krypto and Lois Lane by your side before taking off into the sky.
What is Luxardo Del Santo?
In our Superman’s Kryptonite Cocktail, we use Luxardo Del Santo to mesh with the base of gin even as it tones down the sweetness of maraschino liqueur. Luxardo Del Santo is an Italian aperitif liqueur made from a blend of traditional botanicals, rhubarb, bitter orange, and herbs. It’s a little sweet, a little bitter, and takes your cocktail game to the next level. Think of it as a way to brdidge the gap between classic Italian bitters and more contemporary liqueurs.
