In Episode #56 we are in Castropignano, Italy at the house of my very good friend Melissa Ciancio. Today Melissa is going to teach us how to make a famous and popular Italian cocktail called Aperol Spritz. Spritz is a wine-based cocktail and served as an aperitif. An aperitif is an alcoholic liquor drink used to stimulate the appetite before a meal. This drink is my favorite beverage on hot summer evenings in Italy. It is so refreshing and will quench your thirst. The best part is it’s very easy to make. Watch to get the step by step instructions on how you can make this Italian cocktail for your family and friends. One important ingredient that Nonna and Melissa always adds to their recipes is cooking with their hearts. So, be sure when you make this you do it with all your heart. Enjoy!
