When I think of Italy, I do not merely think about sun, wine and good food but also Aperol Spritz. Relaxing on a terrace enjoying a thirst-quenching aperitif. At home you immediately can recall that holiday feeling in your backyard or on your balcony by making the Aperol Spritz yourself. It’s possible to buy ready-made mixes but mixing it yourself is the tastiest and most enjoyable I think.Put in a large wine glass some ice cubes and a slice of orange, pour on 3 parts Brut Astoria 9.5 cold wine or Prosecco Manzioni Bianco (Spanish Brut Platino is a good cheaper alternative), 2 parts Aperol and 1 part sparkling water. Enjoy your mini vacation moment, Salute!

Aperativo il Ugo
Viva Italia! The greatest summerdrinks I discovered in sunny Italy. This summer I adored il Ugo, a drink which quenches your thirst and is easy to drink. However I have to warn you because you barely notice drinking alcohol. ‘il Ugo‘ is in a beautiful matte bottle with lovely green accents. So you can also enjoy the delicious Dolce Vita feeling at home.Take a large wineglass or cocktailglass and fill it with icecubes and some mint sprigs. Finally pour over some il Hugo and start enjoying. Experience and fully sense the flavour and the taste. An instant summer feeling guaranteed! If you like to mix ‘Hugo’ yourself pour on the ice cubes half a glass of a nice prosecco (see my post about Aperol Spritz for suggestions), the juice of 1 lemon, a dash of elderberry syrup, a little spring water and finally some sprigs of mint. Salute!
