I’M MOST LIKELY TO… Serve up fresh sarcasm daily or bake you a sweet treat. The act of baking or cooking is my love language.
WHAT DRINK OR FOOD BEST DESCRIBES ME? Aperol Spritz
Because it’s bittersweet, aromatic and easygoing, just refreshing enough to drink a few but not so boozy you wreck your day or evening.
Aperol Spritz Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces prosecco
- 2 ounces Aperol
- 2 ounce sparkling water
Garnish: orange slice
All you do is add the prosecco, Aperol and sparkling water to a wine glass filled with ice and stir. Garnish with an orange slice.
Santé
Salute
Cheers
