Aperol Spritz

Aperol’s website dedicates its own page to this classic cocktail recipe, and with a flashy 3-2-1 set of instructions, this is as easy to make as it is to drink.  They’ve even got a video on how to make the cocktail, with some wickedly groovy music in the background.  A cousin to Campari, Aperol has […]

The Sidecar Revisited

There’s something about the end of the week that gets me craving a cocktail.  Friday after work is definitely my favourite time to enjoy something on the rocks.  It’s almost celebratory – the cocktail has this way of conveying the message that it’s time to relax, kick back, and enjoy the remainder of the day.
