I've recently discovered the Italian Liqueur, Aperol. It's got strong notes of tangerine, it's sweet and slightly bitter at the end. Delish. My first thought was to mix with soda water and ice for a very refreshing drink. It's low in alcohol so it won't toss you on your tush. The next drink I came across was the Italian Spritz. I've found the measurements that work for me and I don't use ice, as is normally called for. I just make sure all ingredients are nice and cold.
This is a wonderfully aromatic cocktail and the colour screams festive to me, however this can be enjoyed any time of the year. You can garnish with a slice of orange if you'd like but I like mine straight up. Kind of gal I am.
Merry Chirstmas and a Happy Healthy 2014!
