MIAMI, FL (April 28, 2025) –
GRANRIVIERA, a new cocktail brand built with shelf stable natural ingredients, debuts its flagship GRANRIVIERA Mimosa (SRP:$17.99). This ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage blends premium Italian sparkling wine with freshly squeezed Sicilian oranges and is free of artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. As a new, category-defining offering, GRANRIVIERA Mimosa relies solely on the ripest natural ingredients, with no added sugars or aromas. The bottled cocktail is available nationwide.
The beverage was developed by wine importer Ethica Wines, RTD producer Canella (known for the world’s first bottled Bellini), in collaboration with Julio Cabera from Miami’s Cafe La Trova. From the first sip, drinkers are met with bright citrus notes and hints of honeyed florals. The nose is perfectly balanced with toasty undertones reminiscent of Italy’s sun-drenched coastlines. Best served chilled, this effervescent mimosa pairs well with aperitivo favorites and summer charcuterie spreads. The mimosa embodies the effortlessness of the Italian Dolce Vita.
“GRANRIVIERA Mimosa represents our vision to bring a taste of Italy’s finest craftsmanship to the ready-to-drink market,” says Francesco Ganz, founder of Ethica Wines. “The brand is a celebration of Italian tradition and elegance, capturing the carefree indulgence and timeless spirit of coastal Italy.”
Julio Cabrera, master bartender and official ambassador for GRANRIVIERA Mimosa, played a key role in bringing the cocktail to life. Cabrera’s background in agricultural engineering, with a focus on citrus cultivation, brings a unique perspective to his approach. Paired with years as an award-winning mixologist at Café La Trova, his experience adds both expertise and artistry to the process.
"Creating GRANRIVIERA Mimosa has been an incredible journey," says Julio Cabrera. "Every element has been thoughtfully crafted with precision and passion, resulting in a cocktail that reflects the artistry and vibrant flavors that make Italy so alluring. I’m thrilled to share an authentic taste of Sicilian spirit with consumers all over the country.”
