Aperitif…in Rome
by Lost in Town
One of the most relaxing moments of the day …
the APERITIF!
In Italy we love to meet friends at the Happy Hour time!
You don’t need to drink alcoholic drinks…
Wine is fine, but you can have so many different choices as….
CRODINO : a fizzy refreshing herbal orange soft drink
SPRITZ: Aperol, white dry wine, soda water
CHINOTTO: soda pop with bitter herb extracts, so 60s!
ACQUA TONICA: bitter and quinine soda
REDBULL: energy drink
BITTER: slightly alcoholic red drink, flavored with herbs
all the NON ALCOHOLIC fruit-based COCKTAILS…
And usually the drink is accompanied by snacks of any kind, or includes a dedicated small “tapas” buffet! 
For a delicious drink in a very nice place, I go to CANOVA, in Via del Babuino,
or for an early evening , to Bar del Fico or at Caffè della Pace, near Piazza Navona!
CHEERS!
lovely. i would love to be relaxing with one of those drinks today!
