Time for some Italian inspiration!

Thanks to our Italian guest, we have been introduced to a new drink, Aperol Spritz or just Veneziano. This Italian wine - based cocktail is commonly served as an aperitif in  Northeast Italy.
The ratio for this aperitif is 3:2:1
3  Parts ( 75 ml)  Prosecco or any other Sparkling wine, 2 parts ( 50 ml) Aperol and then 1part ( 25 ml) Soda water  poured over ice blocks and a wedge of orange.




Aperol is a low-strength aperitif made since 1919 to a secret recipe including both rhubarb and orange together with a selection of herbs and roots.


Aperol Spritz became popular in the 1950's inspired by the Venetian mix of white wine and soda.
 
Valencia oranges are the best!
Tonight is first advent, so unpack your festive decorations, light the first candle on your kranz and celebrate with an Aperol Spritz!
 
In Italy, Aperol Spritz is THE drink of summer. If you nose the Aperol neat you will discover a complex progression of flavours. Zesty orange together with herbal scents are well balanced with vanilla.

Our Italian team!
