May we introduce you to the recipes for the Italian classic aperitivo: The Spritz ?
Do you know how Italians start the summer evening ?
With a nice aperitivo – a light drink with some “stuzzichini” to eat, so you don’t drink on an empty stomach. Would be too dangerous in the Italian summer heat…
We would like to introduce you to a classic of Italian aperitivo culture: The Spritz.
Here are 2 versions of Spritz
Aperol Spritz
3 ounces of Prosecco
2 ounces of Aperol
1 ounce of soda
Campari Spritz
2 ounces Prosecco
2 ounces Campari
1 ounce club soda
And as we recommend not to drink on an empty stomach here are some ideas for finger food (stuzzichini) to go with it: Just toast a few slices of bread and spread some Pesto Trapanese, Italian Tuna fish cream with orange or Italian dried tomato on top. And you are ready to enjoy your aperitivo !
Tuna fish cream with orange (Sicily)
Have great start into your Italian summer evening !
