Even if you can’t head to Venice or Rome, you certainly can serve up a cocktail or two for the elusive aperitivo hour! After one sip of a Spritz or the lemony Sgroppino, you’ll be speaking italiano in no time!
Bellini
This Bellini recipe comes straight from where it was invented – Harry’s Bar in Venice. Its gorgeous color makes it unmissable and it’s so easy to make, if you have the correct ingredients!

Venetian Spritz
The Select Aperitivo Spritz is the true Venetian cocktail. The brilliant ruby color reflected against the blue of the canals makes it one of the most gorgeous cocktails.

Hugo Spritz
A Northern Italian favorite where elderflower grows like weeds. I am not sure why this really delicious cocktail hadn’t caught on elsewhere, but don’t forget to order it when you’re there!
