Guide to aperitif types and which to choose to make every moment special
Anyone who thinks that an aperitif is just having a drink before dinner is very wrong! An aperitif is a ritual, an opportunity to meet friends, slow down and switch off. And let's be clear: choosing the right cocktail can make all the difference!
There isn't just one way to experience happy hour, just as there isn't one perfect cocktail for every situation. There are many types of aperitifs and each occasion has its own style, atmosphere, and ideal drink.
From house parties to chill evenings by the sea, let's discover some types of aperitif cocktails perfect for different occasions.
More fun for guests, more relaxation for you!
It's the ideal solution so you don't have to prepare Spritz all the time and can fully enjoy the event. No more preparation stress: you get a perfect result while enjoying every moment of the evening.
Types of aperitifs: the right drink at the right time!
There are dozens of types of aperitif cocktails and many suitable occasions to enjoy them. From fresh and light drinks to bolder ones, from fruity to bitter, here's a brief practical guide on cocktails to choose based on the occasion:
1. Party with friends: Spritz
It's the king of aperitifs, and not by chance. The Spritz is fresh, light, super convivial, with a bright orange color and that citrus twist that instantly puts you in a good mood. Made with prosecco, bitter (Aperol, Select or Campari) and a splash of soda, it's the perfect drink for toasting with company!
2. Aperitif by the sea: Malibu and pineapple juice
It tastes of the tropics and smells of vacation: it's Malibu with pineapple juice, the perfect drink for an aperitif with a sea view, feet in the sand and a sky turning pink. Malibu, a coconut liqueur made with white rum, combines with the sweetness of pineapple juice to create an exotic, refreshing and incredibly summery mix.
3. Outdoor barbecue: Cuba Libre
For classic garden Sundays, amidst laughter and the smell of grilled food, the Cuba Libre is the perfect choice! A good and simple evergreen, the right balance between sweetness and character thanks to the mix of white rum, cola, ice and a slice of lime: few ingredients for a lot of flavor!
3. After-work with colleagues: Gin Tonic
Just closed your PC and need to switch off? Choose a classic like the Gin Tonic! Elegant, fresh and aromatic, it's prepared with gin (classic, dry, citrusy, spicy...) and tonic water. Add ice, a slice of lime or cucumber for an extra touch, and you're done!
4. Romantic date: Strawberry Caipiroska
Sweet, fruity, yet with a lot of personality: it's the Strawberry Caipiroska, a vibrant mix made with vodka, fresh lime, cane sugar and muddled fresh strawberries. The pink color, the strawberry aroma and the freshness of the lime make it the perfect drink for a romantic aperitif or a moonlit dinner for two.
5. Pre-evening with style: Moscow Mule
The evening has just begun, but before diving into the nightlife, do you need the right boost? The Moscow Mule, with vodka, ginger beer and fresh lime, is perfect for recharging your energy! Fresh and spicy, it's the ideal cocktail to start the evening on the right foot.
