Relax with\u00a0a reverie of your trip to Italy while you sip one of these iconic Italian aperitivi (pre-dinner cocktails). An aperitivo is your chance to transition from your day to dinner, lightly alcoholic to relax and with some flavor and nibbles to stimulate your appetite.<\/p>\n

\"Americano\"<\/p>\n

The classic Italian aperitivo is often based on one of the refreshing bitter vermouths of Campari or respected alternatives Aperol and Cinzano. \u00a0If bitter doesn’t appeal to you, sip a Bellini or a flute of prosecco, Italian sparkling wine — like champagne.<\/p>\n

\"Bellini\"<\/p>\n

Refreshing and tasty is the\u00a0Spritz <\/strong>that is\u00a0popular in Venice where it originated. 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Aperol (our favorite), 1 splash soda.<\/p>\n

Famed in cinema, the\u00a0Negroni<\/strong> combines 1 ounce (2 tbsp)\u00a0gin, 1 ounce Campari , 1 ounce sweet vermouth (Martini is the classic Italian brand). The glass is garnished with a twist of orange peel.<\/p>\n

The Americano<\/strong> is similar to the Negroni,\u00a0with 1 1\/2 ounces Campari, 1 1\/2 ounces sweet vermouth and 3 ounces club soda. Garnish with a twist of orange peel.<\/p>\n

\"Negroni\"<\/p>\n

From renowned\u00a0Harry’s Bar in Venice, is the Bellini <\/strong>that\u00a0features prosecco and peach puree for a very pretty presentation and a sweet taste. \u00a03 ounces prosecco and 2 ounces peach puree.<\/p>\n

Named for the hero of the unification of Italy, the Garibaldi<\/strong> is 1 ounce Campari, 3 ounces orange juice over ice. Garnish with half a slice of orange. A sipper.<\/p>\n
