3 Easy Italian Aperitivi Recipes
Aperitivo Time!
Spritz
The Spritz has many local versions that vary from region to region and town to town with different amounts of white wine and carbonated water being added and indeed different spirits including Aperol (used in our recipe) and Compari. Aperol is an Italian aperitif similar to Campari but sweeter in taste. It has a relatively low alcohol content (11%) so is perfect for refreshing early evening aperitivi.
Ingredients❏ 3 parts Aperol Dry❏ 3 parts Prosecco or
dry white wine❏ 3 parts soda water or
carbonated water❏ 6 ice cubes❏ 1/2 slice of orange
Preparation:
Pour over ice and top with a slice of orange.
NegroniThe Negroni is a short drink which originated as an aperitif and has become of the most popular cocktails in the world.
Ingredients:❏ 3 parts gin❏ 3 parts Martini Rosso❏ 3 parts Campari❏ 3-4 ice cubes❏ 1/2 slice of orange or orange peel
Preparation
• The Negroni is prepared directly in a low and wide tumbler glass.
• Put three or four ice cubes in the glass, add the gin, Martini Rosso and the Campari in equal parts and mix. Decorate the glass with a slice of orange.
• If you prefer to make the Negroni a longer or more refreshing drink, you can add a splash of soda.
Bellini
The Bellini was made with Champagne, the pulp of white peaches and a touch of raspberry puree that was used to give the drink a slight pink colour. For a more luxurious cocktail, the Bellini can also be prepared in the original way with champagne and becomes a ‘Bellini Royale’.
Ingredients
❏ 3 parts Prosecco or Italian Brut sparkling wine
❏ 7 parts crushed white peaches
❏ ½ tsp raspberry puree (seedless)
Preparation
• Place a flute or a Martini glass in the icebox.• Peel the peaches and mash up the pulp together with
the raspberry puree.• Pour into the glass and add the chilled sparkling
wine/prosecco.• Garnish the glass with a slice of peach or a raspberry.
