"Cocktail d'amore" is a song written by Cristiano Malgioglio, Corrado Castellari and Marcello Mancini, and performed by Italian singer Stefania Rotolo.[1]

The song was the ending theme of the television program Tilt, broadcast by Rai 1 and hosted by Rotolo herself.[1][2] "Cocktail d'amore" was released as a single together with the show's opening theme "Disco tic" by EMI and peaked at number 2 of the Italian hit parade.[1][3]

"Cocktail d'amore" is considered a "cult song" by the Italian LGBT community.[4][5] In 2002, Amanda Lear hosted a television program named Cocktail d'amore and released a cover version of the song as the show's opening theme.[1] The Cocktail d'Amore queer party in Berlin was named after the song.[4][6]
