1) Which are the 5 best Italian drinks? SPRITZ

If there is a famous drink in Italy that has conquered the world, that drink is Spritz. Nobody knows precisely the origin of the Spritz, but they say that it emerged with the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian empire (in the 19th century), who were in Friuli-Venezi Giulia (in Venice), and, to reduce the high gradation of Veneto wines. , they put water in the drink. However, the practice spread and the wine was replaced by ‘amari’, which are very strong and bitter alcoholic beverages. Among them appeared Aperol, Cynar, Bitter, Select (coloration that varies from orange to red) or black, such as China Martini. The idea pleased and ended up in other Italian regions!

The traditional Spritz takes sparkling wine, ice and sparkling water, in addition to one of the drinks mentioned above and an orange slice. If you like it even softer, you can order a Spritz with aranciata amara (- says arantchiata amara – which is a sugar-free orange soda that replaces sparkling wine). It is a very refreshing and delicious drink!

Tip

The type of sparkling wine used can change the flavor of the drink, so do not be surprised if you drink Spritz with different flavors in different regions in Italy.

2) Which are the 5 best Italian drinks? NEGRONI

Another very Italian drink! The official story of Negroni tells that he was created by a Count, Count Camillo Negroni, from Florence and is ‘for the forts’! Hahaha… Besides being super alcoholic, it has a very strong and bitter taste. The basic recipe is ice (to freeze the glass, it is removed at the time of serving), Campari, gin and red vermouth, all in the same proportion; to decorate the glass, a thin slice of orange. The drink was created in 1919, when the count was drinking an ‘American’ cocktail in a Florentine cafe. They say that, sick of the carbonated drink, he asked for the sparkling water to be replaced by gin. Done! Negroni was born!

Tip

If you want a softer drink, ask for Negroni Sbagliato (- says Negroni Isbaliato – “Wrong Negroni”) who replaces gin with sparkling wine.

3) Which are the 5 best Italian drinks? BELLINI

It is the favorite drink of women! Sweet, very sweet, delicious, refreshing, light, smooth … All the features please the most ‘sweet’ palates! Another drink created in Venice in 1938 by Giuseppe Cipriani from Harry’s Bar, this drink is made with proseco and peach juice, also in the same proportions. Why is it called Bellini? Because the color of the drink reminded Cipriani of the color of an angel’s clothing painted by Giovanni Bellini (1443-1516), Venetian painter, in one of his works.
