Ready for summer? So are we and this fizzy drink, straight from the pages of our new favorite aperitivo-centric book, Spritz ($12; amazon.com), by food journalists and self-proclaimed cocktail connoisseurs Talia Baiocchi, editor-in-chief at Punch, and Leslie Pariseau, Saveur editor, will set the mood with its bubbles, citrus bite, and enticing rosy color. The secret ingredient? Cocchi Americano, a classic Italian bitter, lends herbal intrigue to the blend, which can be made in batches. Read on for the full recipe.
