About this ebook

Over 65 delightful recipes for BAR BITES, COCKTAILS and SPRITZES that will transport you to the bustling excitement of an Italian post-work APERITIVO! Aperitivo refers to a few glorious hours between 7pm and 9pm when Italians meet to RELAX OVER A GLASS OF CHILLED WINE or a light cocktail and graze on bar bites. From a social soirée to enjoying a special moment with family, aperitivo hour is a fabulous way to EXCITE YOUR APPETITE and IGNITE YOUR TASTE BUDS. Ask any Italian, and they'll tell you that aperitivo hour isn't the same as an American happy hour; it's a state of mind, and a way of being. It's a time to focus on the present moment, and digest the day, while preparing to digest the dinner to follow. It is also the ideal time to try a classic Italian drink. Traditionally cocktails are light on alcohol and bitter in taste, meaning they pair well with the salty snacks on offer. Campari or slightly sweeter Aperol mixed with soda are classic choices, or enjoyed in a spritz (with the addition of sparkling wine). If you're after something with more of a kick, you won't be disappointed by Italy's most famous cocktail, the Negroni, or a lighter sbagliato. Delicious bite-size snacks and small plates are served alongside drinks and, depending on which part of Italy you are in these can include topped bruschetta (toasts), cheeses and salumi (cured meats), vegetable antipasti and even pizzette, pasta or meatballs. Find all the inspiration you need to embrace the aperitivo hour at home with this gorgeous collection of recipes – cin cin!
