We admit it: were suckers for the super-adorable, way-trendy technique of serving drinks in dressed cans. Take the can one of your ingredients came in, pour it out into a measuring cup, pop the top off with a can opener, and use it as the vessel for your finished drink, appropriately garnished. It couldnt be easier, or more impressive. Molto facile is italian for very easy, and this fantastic recipe from beverage consultant tim cooper for nycs bar gonzo fits the name. Cooper calls for sanpellegrino aranciata rosso, a blood-orange soda. Other brands of blood-orange soda will probably be just as tasty, and weve even enjoyed it with the regular orange version of the soda. Likewise, while blood orange juice is ideal, any variety of fresh sweet orange will be wonderful. We first saw it garnished with a dehydrated blood orange wheel and the stained-glass effect is certainly lovely. But if you dont have a bunch of dried citrus lying around, you cant go wrong with a fresh wedge of orange and a fat sprig of mint. Be sure to serve this drink with a straw so that your drinkers dont run the risk of cutting their lips on a bit of metal left over from the can opener.
