This delightful summery aperitif is the perfect way to start your evening. We have provided the recipe for one serve but it's easy to multiple out for extra serves as the drink is prepared in individual glasses - or simple double the recipe for a larger serve. We like it in a larger white wine glass but a martini cocktail glass is also acceptable. There's no need for a shaker but you may like to mix with a bartenders spoon. Finish your creation off with some fresh mint leaves and zesty lime!

Equal parts bubbly, frosty, sweet, & sour, Sgroppino al Limone – a 3-ingredient limoncello and prosecco float – is the ultimate summer cocktail! I first experienced these refreshing after dinner drinks during my time working at a fine dining Italian restaurant. When our owner dined on our patio on warm summer evenings, he’d often skip the dolci menu & sneak behind the bar to make a tray of sgroppino for his family & friends instead. Once I began making them at home, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they are to prepare. They come together with 3 simple ingredients — Italian liquor, Italian sparkling wine, & sunshiny lemon sorbet – & they're so simple to throw together, even on the warmest nights. It's been my go-to summer dessert drink ever since – the perfect digestif for a hot day! Be sure to check out the blog post, above, for a lot more notes on each of the ingredients, as well as some easy variations (including guidance for a mocktail!). ♡ Happy sipping!

The allure of lemonade is in its balance between sweet and tart, but since I can’t leave well enough alone, I’m always tweaking it by introducing a third flavor. Lately I’ve been loving the addition of heat, especially in the form of a spicy ginger syrup. The kick from a homemade fresh ginger syrup amps up the addictive quality of this warm weather beverage. It’s that sweet-sour combination that comes through first, while the heat settles in at the end of the gulp.

A modern classic first created in 2003, the Zabaglione is a cocktail with such great flavor and balance and was inspired from a traditional Italian dessert of the same name. I modified this cocktail to make it a little more like a dessert I would want at the end of a meal, and that is exactly what this delicious cocktail is best for: a liquid dessert. The banana liqueur balances beautifully with the cognac and lemon juice with the egg, giving it exceptional mouthfeel and viscosity. The final ingredient, the orange bitters, just gives it that little extra character and rounded dessert-like feature.
