On a weekend trip to Venice a few weeks ago, I came to discover the Spritz. A bubbly apperitif with Campari (or Aperol for those with a sweeter tooth) mixed with Prosecco, sparkling water, and served with an olive (yum) and orange. These delicious drinks are found everywhere in the city - from the ritzy cafés on the piazza to tiny local bars - and are appealing to any budget. I fell in love with the Spritz because I am neither a fan of the overly sweet cocktails (see Cosmos, etc) or the overly alcoholic ones (see Martinis). They are balanced, a tad bitter, and happily bubbly.
When you can't jet set to Venice for the weekend, you can make these wonderful drinks (perfect for a boozy brunch or a picnic) from the following 'recipe':
1 part Aperol/Campari
3 parts Prosecco
1 part Seltzer
Add olive and orange (preferably blood orange) for some sass
