Cocktails with Mare Santo Sparkling Wine
Mare Santo wasn’t created to disappear in a mix.
But when paired with intention, this sparkling wine shows new sides — brighter, deeper, unexpected.
Here are three cocktails where the wine stays the voice, not the background.
Prefer Cuveé Prestige?
Mare & Vermouth
Like walking through a pine forest by the sea.
Best with: Mare Santo Cuvée
75 ml Mare Santo Cuvée
25 ml dry white vermouth
1 drop olive brine (optional)
Green olive or rosemary garnish
Serve cold in a chilled tumbler, no ice.
Let this sparkling wine open slowly.
Minimal. Mediterranean. Memorable.
Sea Smoke
Dry, herbal, slightly mysterious.
Best with: Mare Santo Cuvée
80 ml Mare Santo Cuvée
15 ml dry gin (coastal or herbal notes preferred)
5 ml elderflower cordial
1 thin cucumber ribbon
Build gently in a chilled white wine glass.
No ice. One slow stir.
Garnish with cucumber.
Freshness, clarity, and something just out of reach.
Prefer Rosé?
The Adriatic Spritz
Fresh. Salty. A little wild.
Best with: Mare Santo Rosé
90 ml Mare Santo Rosé
30 ml bergamot liqueur (or dry limoncello)
Splash of soda
Lemon peel & thyme sprig
Serve over ice in a large wine glass.
Stir gently. Offer olives or salted almonds.
A sparkling wine twist — not your usual orange spritz.
A Final Note
Don’t overdo it.
These aren’t loud drinks.
They’re quiet, just like Mare Santo.
Let the bubbles speak.
Sip slowly.

Silent Sunset
Soft bubbles, bitter edges, citrus oil.
Best with: Mare Santo Rosé
90 ml Mare Santo Rosé
15 ml red bitter (Cappelletti or Select)
1 dash grapefruit bitters
Orange twist
Serve in a flute or small wine glass.
No stirring — just let colors and aromas rise.
Perfect before dinner. Or instead of it.
