Mixology has been popular forever, but more and more gastropubs are taking the “ology” part of it seriously. Fabulous concoctions made with rare fruits and liquors are helping bars and restaurants stand out for more than just food. Not long ago Bloody Marys were all the rage, with restaurants garnishing them with what could only be called a full meal! Luckily that seems to have died down. These days exotic sangrias as well as herbaceous mojitos seem to be crowd favourites.
And speaking of cocktails, have you ever had a spritz? This alcoholic beverage is widely consumed in Northern Italy. It’s mixed with a red alcoholic drink, most often Aperol (for a sweet and orange tinge) or Campari (for a more bitter and reddish tinge).
