Aperitivis

One of my absolute favorite things, preferably on a warm Spring evening at a good quality bar in a small Ligurian seaside town, complete with some briny, young and crunchy green olives. I will use this post to list the ubiquitous aperitivis and the more original combinations that have come my way (all on ice, by the way, with exact measurements to follow). Vermouth of choice is Punt e Mes (a tad more bitter than usual rosso vermouth). The bubblier the soda water the better, so I'd go with Canada Dry versus Perrier or equivalent.
  • Americano: campari, Punt e Mes, soda water, slice of orange (replacing soda water with Schweppes tonic water a nice touch)
  • Negroni: campari, Punt e Mes, gin
  • Negroni Sbagliato: campari, Punt e Mes, prosecco
  • Aperol Spritz: aperol, prosecco, soda water
  • Amaro: 30 ml Amaro Montenegro on ice with orange wedge, 45 ml blood orange or mandarin sorbet, 5 ml lemon juice, 30 ml prosecco
  • Campari Sour Fizz: campari, calamansi, seltzer (from Ma Peche)
  • Telefonino: 200 ml Campari, 200 ml Zucca, 150 Antica Formula; top up with tonic water and slice of orange
  • White Spritz: 35 gr Aperol, bitter bianco, prosecco
