The card of is characterized by the presence of different sections of the menu, i Twist on classic, creations common to all Santa Cocktail Club (also present in Florence at Villa Cora, in Rome and in the next opening in Venice) and i signature cocktails, inspired by a different theme in each bar of the group.

Dr. Punch, the representative cocktail of the Santa Cocktail Club of Florence
It belongs to this second selection of cocktails Dr. Punch, a drink dedicated to the Art of Doctors and Spacemen, as at the time of the Renaissance, apothecaries used countless spices from all over the world both for food and for medicinal purposes. For the realization of this "milk punch” the spices are immersed in the alcoholic part so as to gradually flavor the entire mixture.
After the first 24 hours, during which all the ingredients of the recipe are left to macerate, a small quantity of milk is added which will begin the "milk washing”: the contact between the milk and the lemon, thanks to its high acidity, will lead to the creation of rennet which will have an initial filtering and then a final micro-filtering through the use of special coffee bags.
This process will lead to the clarification of the cocktail, making it clear and transparent. Dr. Punch is the most representative drink of the Santa Cocktail Club reality and the research that underlies it, so much so that for the creation of
This Signature Cocktails it takes about 36 hours.
