Experience

Travesura is a celebration of red fruit at its most vibrant and playful expression. Fresh, seductive and effortlessly drinkable, it opens with an explosion of berries that evolves into a crisp citrus backbone, finishing with the elegant sparkle of tonic water.

It’s the kind of cocktail that naturally becomes part of the atmosphere — the one people point at across the table, the one that gets reordered all night long. Visually striking and dangerously smooth, Travesura carries the spirit of long summer afternoons that slowly transform into unforgettable nights.

Its refreshing personality makes it perfect for happy hours with friends, sunset gatherings, rooftop moments and spontaneous celebrations where conversation, music and hospitality blend together naturally.

A Touch of History

Vodka has become one of the most versatile and widely consumed spirits in modern cocktail culture, especially over the last few decades. Its clean and adaptable profile allows it to integrate beautifully with fruits, spices and floral ingredients, making it one of the most important foundations of contemporary mixology.

Travesura was created around that philosophy — using vodka as a canvas to elevate the vibrant personality of red berries, balanced with fresh lime and refined through the elegant bitterness and carbonation of tonic water.

Pro Tips

• Use fresh raspberry purée for a brighter and more natural berry expression.
• Always serve the cocktail extremely cold to maximize freshness.
• Large clear ice cubes will improve both presentation and dilution control.
• High-quality tonic water makes a significant difference in the final balance.
• For a more vibrant presentation, garnish with fresh raspberries alongside the lime wheel.

Variations

• Add muddled strawberries for a deeper red fruit profile.
• Replace vodka with gin for a more botanical interpretation.
• Add a splash of prosecco for a sparkling spritz-style version.
• Reduce simple syrup slightly for a drier and more citrus-forward finish.
