What is Donna Rosa?
The Donna Rosa cocktail is a silky, citrus-forward gin drink with a bold Italian twist. Bright lemon juice and Cointreau bring vibrant acidity and subtle sweetness, while Campari adds that unmistakable bittersweet backbone and gorgeous blush hue. The egg white transforms everything into a smooth, velvety texture with a delicate foam cap that makes this drink feel refined and just a little dramatic.
If you enjoy layered citrus and herbal depth like in a classic Negroni but want something softer and more elegant, Donna Rosa might become your new favorite. It’s balanced, aromatic, and visually stunning in a coupe glass. For more bittersweet inspiration, you might also love this refreshing Sweetheart Sangria.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
