Columbina

A mixed drink served up with gin, vermouth rosso and a slightly bitter liqueur and ice. The color is that similar to a blood orange. Stirred and not shaken, this cocktail is as alluring as they come. A slice of orange to garnish finishes off the drink.

Popularised by a recurring character in the commedia dell’arte by the same name (also known as Columbine or Columbina), the Columbina is traditionally a half mask adorned with an ornate variety of Jewels, feathers and fabrics. Often painted in gold or silver, it was held in place by either a ribbon or a stick.
Colombina is a maidservant and the lover of Arlecchino. She dressed in a ragged and patched dress, similar to her counterpart Arlecchino (or Harlequin). She was also known to wear heavy makeup around her eyes and carry a tambourine which she could use to fend off the amorous advances of Pantalone.

Gatto

This cocktail will be quite the kick to any Miqo'te! Still good for anyone else of course. A sweet and sour mix of tropical fruit liqueurs with rum. A bit of gaelicatnip mixed in with crushed ice is a sure way to get a party started!

Meaning ‘cat’ in Italian, the Gatto is unsurprisingly shaped like the face of a cat, with the characteristic pointy ears, narrow eyes and button nose. Perhaps more surprising is that it owes its genesis to the scarcity of cats in Venice during the days of the Republic, indicating that felines were prized above other species of domestic animal on account of their rarity.

Pierrot

A layered drink that displays an array of colors. Compared to the performers variety of skill needed to perform as a jester (clown? idk) This drink is served in a martini glass with blue curacao, pineapple juice, cointreau and finally grapefruit juice to top it all off. Each stacking upon the other.

Pierrot is a naïve, lunatic clown, unaware of the outside world, always being cheated and joked on by the others. Despite suspicions about things, Pierrot always end up trusting people and believing in their lies. A stock character of pantomime and Commedia dell'Arte.

Dottore Peste

A fantastic concoction of azure colored liqueurs of unknown origin that are sure to open up your mind. Served with ball of ice, its a drink that will catch your attention quickly to its distinct flavor and bright appearance.

A half-mask with a ghoulishly exaggerated nose, Dottore Peste differs from the Scaramouch in that its nose is conventionally not only wider but also curved downwards like beak, and whereas the latter mask covers the cheekbones, the Plague Doctor only covers the forehead. Its name and peculiar form originates from the 16th Century and the unusual practices of a French physician by the name of Charles de Lorme, who would wear a full face mask with a hollow beak while treating plague sufferers.
The Doctor is the local aristocrat, and/or doctor of medicine or law or anything else he claims to know about, which is most things. Extremely rich, he adores food and good wines, thus he is a little round. He is typically depicted as an elderly man who only knows nonsense. He makes many cruel jokes about the opposite sex and believes that he knows everything about everything.
