Aperitivo sessions

One of my little dreams is to open an aperitivo spot, a little shack with finger food, great wine and Italian aperitifs.
Just to remember the pairings I’ve been experimenting with great success:

  • Toasted english muffin (sliced in 2 and then 4 sectors)
  • homemade ricotta (thinned with milk and blended with freshly grated horseradish and ¼ tsp of mustard)
  • thyme/garlic marinated grilled red pepper
  • sprinkle with fennel seeds.
  • Torino-Milano (½ Campari, ½ Punt e Mes, a splash of soda, orange wedge, two ice cubes).
