White Lotus star Simona Tabasco teamed up with vermouth brand Martini on a campaign that shares a bespoke cocktail—the Simona Spritz—and spotlights Sicilian hotspots like BamBar and La Plage. White Lotus Season 2 was set in Sicily and with this campaign, travel and cocktail lovers are invited to discover the magic of Sicily through Tabasco’s eyes.
To create the signature drink for this campaign, Martini worked with Simona Tabasco and mixologist Maura Milia, who said, "This year, spicy cocktails have been leading the charge with the fiery trend gaining momentum as bar professionals are reaching for chillies, hot sauce and other punchy ingredients to really make an impact.”
The Simona Spritz is a spicy sipper combining Martini Bianco and Prosecco with soda and chillies, putting a fiery twist on timeless aperitivo recipes.
