The Atrium Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze introduces its Sips of History menu as a journey through the defining events of the nineteenth century. Guided by Assistant F&B Manager Edoardo Sandri, each chapter becomes a cocktail shaped with precision and a delicate sense of balance, reaching even guests who prefer a zero-alcohol path. Among the selections, Sherlock Holmes 0.0 stands out for its poise and personality: an alcohol-free take on the Martinez, created for those who still want a full, satisfying sip.
The Non-Alcoholic Offering at the Atrium Bar
The setting at Atrium Bar heightens the experience. The quiet, carefully managed atmosphere of a grand luxury hotel underpins a shift in pace: top-tier cocktail culture now includes recipes shaped with technical rigor and aromatic depth, in step with the growing demand for non-alcoholic options from travelers, business guests and anyone looking for something lighter.
Sherlock Holmes 0.0 has quickly proved popular. A nonalcoholic distillate replaces the gin and forms the base; a mix of raspberry vinegar, alcohol- free grape juice and sugar adds aromatic drive, while tonic water brings the drink into focus. In the highball glass, every step is measured to deliver a fresh, linear sip. A potato chip crowned with a disk of zero-alcohol Martinez gel adds a final touch that calls back to the classic version, filtered through a contemporary lens. Like a well- written chapter, this cocktail lets Sandri expand the story of where mixology is headed next.
