IGIEA TERRAZZA BAR LAUNCHES

Salvatore Calabrese, widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential bartenders, has crafted “Sicily around the World”, the new cocktail menu at Igiea Terrazza Bar, featuring ten signature cocktails that blend international influences with Sicilian heritage.

The newly launched “Sicily around the World” cocktail menu by Salvatore Calabrese unveils a cosmopolitan vision of Sicily that honors its rich heritage. Ten new cocktails blend international influences with authentic Sicilian flavors – paying homage to the rich cultural legacy of Sicilian emigrants who carried the island’s spirit across the world.

The spirit of the island has long influenced the cultural and culinary landscapes of countries across the globe, from the UK to Japan, the United States, Argentina, Tunisia and Brazil. These global connections are captured in the flavours and aromas of the Sicily around the World menu, which also features nine classic cocktails alongside four expertly crafted mocktails.

Open daily from 10.30am to midnight, Igiea Terrazza Bar is the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee, light lunch or unwind with an aperitivo to the sounds of live music while taking in the views of the Gulf of Palermo from the panoramic terrace. Completing the hotel’s culinary offering are the iconic Florio Restaurant and the refined Alicetta Bistro, both curated by Chef Fulvio Pierangelini.

Sicily around the world - Salvatore Calabrese’s cocktail list for Igiea Terrazza Bar PERPETUUM | A British classic, inspired by Sicilian bounty, Marsala carried the island’s warmth north. Cultivated by the noble Florio family, founders of Villa Igiea, it paved the way for other Mediterranean riches, linking two cultures through taste and trade. Robust and smoky with rich fruity notes and a bitter, aromatic finish. Benriach The Twenty-One Whisky, Marsala Florio Aegusa 2001, Campari Cask Tales, Bergamot spray.

SAKURA | Driven east by Etna’s fire, the Protosiculi set sail for new worlds, finding a spiritual kinship in the Land of the Rising Sun. Their long journey carved out one of the earliest connections between East and West, guided by faith and purpose. Spicy, floral with a herbaceous undertone. Bulldog Gin, Medlar liqueur, Yuzu sake, Sakura Bitter, Oregano and Green Tea Infusion.

VIA CALIA | Drawn by new opportunities, our people settled along Tunisia’s coast, laying roots in unfamiliar soil and giving rise to Little Sicily. Their agricultural expertise helped the prickly pear flourish - a humble cactus that grew into a shared source of prosperity and pride. Smoky exoticism with a golden, spiced lift. Santa Spina Prickly Pear Cactus Eau de Vie, Pomelia Liqueur, Mint, Turmeric, Toasted Almond Cordial, Cotton Candy, Toasted Chickpea Powder.

TANGUERO | When Palermo met Buenos Aires, a passionate dance took hold, one sparked by a shared appreciation of life’s pleasures. Sicilian arrivals brought their love of music and wine to Argentina, infusing Latin rhythm with southern Italian soul. Layered, bittersweet, bold - tango in a glass. Espolòn Tequila Reposado, Hibiscus-infused Red Wine, Sicilian Passion Fruit Liqueur, Amaro K1, Mate Soda, Rose Air.

CAFEZINHO | In the fertile fields of southern Brazil, our island’s spirit took root. Hardworking hands forged a legacy where coffee became a shared ritual, rich with energy and intent. Tropical citrus notes, grounded by bitter herbs. Sagatiba Gachaça, Vivere Espresso Coffee Liqueur, Agave Syrup, Lime Sage, Coffee Beans.

IRIS | Sicily supported Germany’s postwar boom with a shared sense of strength and spirit. Among the sweet traditions carried north was Iris, Krapfen’s Mediterranean twin, fusing two cultures through a mutual love of this cherished dessert. Indulgent, creamy, sweet. Altamura Vodka, Krapfen Pastry, Maraschino Liqueur, Ricotta Cream Liqueur, Maraschino Cherry.

TIGER RAG | In a smoky speakeasy in New Orleans, a new sound was born, pioneered by the ‘father of modern jazz’, and Sicilian son, Nick LaRocca. 1917 saw him record the world’s first jazz track - bold and provocative, it became the pulse of a cultural rebellion. Rich, velvety, complex with a floral note. Wild Turkey Bourbon, Amaro Averna Riserva Tributo Siciliano, Vermouth del Professore Rosso, Jasmine Essence. Cocktail aged in an oak barrel for two months.

CORTADOR | Our islanders brought generations of craftmanship to this land of rhythm and colour, enriching Cuba’s architectural landscape. In coastal Cienfuegos, their influence is reflected in the sky-blue facade and domed tower of Palacio Ferrer, a neoclassical gem. Herbal, fresh, light with a bitter edge. Havana Club 7 Años, Acqua Bianca, Venturo Aperitivo Mediterraneo, Thyme and Nepetella Liqueur, Soda Water.

STELLA DI LUCA | From Sicily to zero gravity, Luca Parmitano elevated national spirit to stratospheric levels. The first Italian to walk in space and command the International Space Station, our star-bound pioneer is truly out of this world. Creamy, nutty, with an unexpected truffle undertone. Wild Turkey Bourbon, Frangelico, almond and Pistachio Milk, Activated Carbon, Egg White, Glitter Powder, White Truffle Caviar.

THE SICILIAN OUTBACK | No strangers to warm climes, Sicilians imbued the land down under with their deep-rooted devotion to famiglia, bringing with them a taste of southern Italian sunshine through slow-ripened olives and tomatoes. Tropical, juicy, bold with a zingy freshness. Hoxton Banana Rum, Hoxton Tropical Gin, Mango, Tomato and Eucalyptus Cordial, Blue Lime, Yellow Vanilla and Red Spicy Oil.

On 24th September, there will be an exclusive screening and conversation with multi-award-winning director Luca Guadagnino and rising star Giovanni Tortorici, while on 1st October actress Benedetta Porcaroli, known for her role in Netflix’s The Leopard, will join for a closing night celebration.

The journey continues for guests of Villa Igiea with a five-part guided tour, including private access to renowned venues, artist-led walking tours, visits to noble palazzos and much more.

Teatro Massimo – The Godfather part three - Francis Ford Coppola - 1990 – nominated for seven Oscars| The itinerary starts with the opportunity to relive classic cinematography. In The Godfather part three Michael’s son Anthony performs in Palermo as an opera singer at the Teatro Massimo. Villa Igiea’s guests will be able to visit this landmark in Palermo through a behind-the-scenes tour and a show at the magnificent Theatre.

Palazzo Abatellis – Palermo Shooting, 2008, Wim Wenders, at the Cannes Festival contest | The second part of the itinerary still plays on the stark contrasts typical of the island. Palazzo Abatellis is a residence oozing grandeur, home to the ‘Galleria Regionale’ curated by world renowned architect Carlo Scarpa. Totally off the beaten track, chosen by Wim Wenders for a scene of Palermo Shooting where the history of Palermo’s society is depicted starting from a painting.

Palazzo Gangi – The Leopard, 1963, directed by Luchino Visconti – Golden Palm in Cannes | The backdrop changes dramatically when you step into the home of the Princess of Valguarnera, one of the best-preserved aristocratic palazzos in the heart of Palermo. Principessa Vanni Calvello will reveal all the interesting anecdotes related to the shooting of the film The Leopard.

Villa Palagonia – The Adventure - Michelangelo Antonioni - 1960, winner of the jury prize in Cannes | The fourth part is a location that both film directors Antonioni and Tornatore chose due to its strong appeal. Guests will be able to explore the tree lined boulevard and halls on a walking tour organized by a contemporary Sicilian artist.

Tuna Fishery in Scopello - Ocean’s Twelve - 2004 - Steven Soderberg | The itinerary begins in Scopello at the historic tuna fishery which is situated in a sheltered position between the rocks of Castellammare del Golfo and San Vito lo Capo, the latter being the flagship of the Nature Reserve of the Zingaro. This is the perfect opportunity to have a walk down to the magnificent bay where one of the scenes from Ocean's Twelve by Steven Soderbergh was filmed.

From its unspoiled sandy coast, undulating vineyards and magnificent cathedrals, the enchanting beauty of western Sicily is unparalleled. Embark on a journey of discovery with Rocco Forte Hotels in Sicily and marvel at the island's thousand souls. 

Our suggested itinerary starts off in Palermo, Sicily's sensual and vivid capital. A showstopping property, Villa Igiea is a majestic Grade I-listed palazzo, immortalized in film and literature, that has served as an elite seaside-meets-city oasis for over a century. After a meticulous restoration led by Olga Polizzi and Nicholas Haslam studios, the hotel's interiors recall its former glory and heritage to life. Ten minutes from Palermo's Baroque splendor and bustle, Villa Igiea celebrates the best that Sicily has to offer - cultural richness, timeless architecture, eclectic gastronomy - whilst overlooking the pristine Tyrrhenian Sea.

After two nights, leave the city behind and enjoy a complimentary transfer to Verdura Resort, near Sciacca. Our flagship resort complements Villa Igiea: ultra-sleek with contemporary designs nestled in 230 hectares of centuries-old orchards, olive groves and vineyards, Verdura offers a different take on the island. With two golf courses, a private beach and a 4,000 square meter spa, the hotel emphasizes Sicily's spectacles of nature and is a haven of relaxation. Spend three nights at your leisure, enjoying indulgent spa treatments, organic cuisine by Fulvio Pierangelini and a few rounds of golf. Dine in our ancient olive grove, savor a sunset aperitivo from our sea-view terraces and glide out into the crystal waters of the Mediterranean – paradisiacal.
