Key quotes
· 3 pulledThis Italian cocktail is bubbly and bright, with floral notes from elderflower liqueur and herbal depth from fresh mint.
It’s just as refreshing as an Aperol spritz, its better-known cousin, but it doesn’t have any of Aperol’s bitterness.
It’s one of my favorite cocktails to sip on a hot summer day—always on a patio, and preferably in Italy…though more likely in my own backyard.
