Recipe

Alex Tognazzi of Mila restaurant shares the recipe for his refreshing cocktail, Papa Don’t Peach.

Q: I had a cocktail at Mila in Vancouver that was so unique and flavorful. Can you get the recipe for me so I can make it at home? — Gabrielle, Vancouver

A: This cocktail is inspired by the flavors of a grilled peach salad — a classic Italian dish that’s a favourite of Mila’s bar manager, Alex. The drink combines the sweetness of vanilla, the sharpness of peach and the crisp acidity of Prosecco. A drizzle of balsamic reduction adds tanginess and complements the mint garnish. “It’s light enough to enjoy in the afternoon, yet it has enough character and complexity to drink with dinner,” he says.
