I have a favorite summer cocktail, and that cocktail is the Aperol Spritz.

It's Aperol liqueur and Prosecco with a dash of soda water, usually served with a wedge of orange,and it's always served in this sort of pear-shaped glass, and so the bottom part of it sort of magnifies whatever light is traveling through it, and the color of it, it's like a sunset, but a sunset when it's warm, like in the summer

So you see a beach full of people, I'm thinking about the beach in the Netherlands or when I was in Italy, you just see all these people with Aperol Spritzes that seem to be capturing the light, capturing the essence of the moment, and it's delicious.

Except you have to be careful. Sort of like a Long Island iced tea, it doesn't hit you hard, but it'll hit you.

I love those.

As far as what to eat with it, you can go savory, you can go sweet, you can do the olives or charcuterie, anything. It goes with everything.
