Of all the countries of the world, surely Italy has made the greatest contribution to Civilisation. Most nations only get one go at the top, as social cultural and economic leader,-but Italy did it twice (Roman Empire, Renaissance) And the food’s not bad by the way. So to celebrate this marvellous achievement, we are going to offer you a look at not one, not two but THREE great Italian cocktails.. We won’t include the Limoncello Spritz as we have covered that twice (LSS 24 6 22; 9 8 24) But do include three others that would have undoubtedly delighted Dante, pleasured Plautus or Charmed Camilleri
Negroni A delightful blend of gin and those classic Italian ingredients of vermouth and Campari The orange slices make it thrice as refreshing Our recipe is from Jack Wakelin of the BBC
Bellini Our recipe comes from the erudite Nick Polotninko of the marvellous cocktail wave website So simple, largely peach puree and prosecco, making it easy to scale up for receptions, soirées, weddings, christenings and the like:

Aperol Spritz Jack Wakelin strikes again! Dead easy, just Aperol and prosecco essentially, and plenty of ice. Quite the in-drink with the pub crowd lately, probably because its so easy to make, that you don’t even need a shaker

And so we hope you’ll join us in saying Salute to a great country and its achievements in Art, Science, Religion, Music, Philosophy, Gastronomy, Literature, Architecture, Design-and some great drinks.
