  1. Preparing the Glass: Begin by chilling the glass, placing it in the freezer for at least two hours before preparing the cocktail. This step is critical, to keep the cocktail chilled and to enhance the flavors.
  2. Mixology: Take a shaker and carefully pour in 70 ml of Toscana Rosso Danzante wine, 30 ml of Cognac and 10 ml of Crème de Cassis. The balance between the robustness of the wine and the complexity of the Cognac is essential for the Bordij’s flavor profile.
  3. Shaking: Add ice cubes to taste and close the shaker. Shake vigorously for a few seconds, allowing the ingredients to mix perfectly and cool, thus releasing their essences.
  4. Straining and Serving: Use a cocktail strainer to strain the drink as you pour it into the chilled glass. This step ensures a smooth, residue-free cocktail. Serve immediately to fully enjoy the freshness and enveloping taste of your cocktail.
  5. Cocktail Presentation: The type of glass used is crucial: a wide goblet allows the flavors to expand and release the aromatic bouquet. Each sip of the Bordij reveals a layering of flavors: from the initial fruitiness of red wine to the warm persistence of cognac.
