A Journey Through Botanicals and Craftsmanship
Infusioni Alternative is much more than a series: it is a journey of discovery into the world of tea applied to mixology. Each episode takes place in an exceptional location, where Albino Ferri meets bartenders and mixologists who have transformed infusions into an art form.
From the selection of leaves to blending, every detail tells a story of balance and intuition. Cold extraction techniques, ultrasonic infusions, aromatic blends, and botanical experimentation give life to drinks that go beyond the boundaries of the classic, opening up new perspectives of taste.
Each stop is an open-air laboratory where teas and herbal infusions become tools of innovation, capable of revolutionizing the mixed-drink experience. Through aromas, colors, and textures, every creation tells a story of Italy and the talent of those who craft its essence.
A journey to rediscover the art of mixology. A journey to explore the future of infusions.
