The most handsome little book with a charming collection of recipes and stories
This is the cutest coffee table book. My signature drink at my wedding was an Aperol Spritz so when I saw this book at Antropologie, I knew I needed it for my new apartment. I checked Amazon and the price here was way better than Anthropologie’s (no surprise there).Aesthetically, the book’s quality is way better than I expected. The cover has a cool matte vintage-like texture, as do the pages, which are very thick and sturdy. The photos are absolutely gorgeous- they’re art-print quality and I would pull them out and frame them if I didn’t love the book itself so much. There is also a cool mix of mid century modern style illustrations in a warm, somewhat masculine palette of colors.The writing is simple and the stories interesting. The recipes are the perfect mix of classic, modern, and DIY. It may not be a book I turn to often for recipes except occasionally in advance of a dinner party, but it’s one I’m so happy to have in my collection and love leafing through when I notice it on my side table.

Try the Mai Tai Spritz!
I highly recommend this book!! Great and creatively unique recipes for a lighter style of cocktail. Most enjoyable. The surmise hit – Mai Tai Spritz – as odd as this may seem – its a favorite.

Fun book.
Has a lot of history about Spritz and the Italian cocktail scene, as well as good recipes. It is a fun book and the printing is good quality. The typeface is very small, but overall this is a good purchase.

Aperol for everyone!
This is a great, compact, well-designed book. In addition to cocktails there are a bunch of recipes for Italian aperitivos (little bar snacks, similar to tapas). Just got this book the other day, but I’ve already gone to the liquor store so I can try some of the more interesting cocktail recipes. Also really like how the book describes the spritz/aperitif sub-cultures of northern Italy. If/when I make it back I’m definitely using this book as a guideLooking forward to warmer weather so I can throw a spritz-inspired party.

What a wonderful collection of apparativos! The book of the summer has lead me to a collect and try as many as is humanly possible. See what a delicious collection the authors have lead me to create! Almost all of the drinks are easily made (with a few hard-to-find ingredients notwithstanding), incredibly tasty, very low alcohol and fairly low calorie – they pack a refreshing punch at lunch and through the afternoon and evening. My favorite uses one of the oldest (possibly, the oldest) apparativo Salers – made with Gentian root, it is outstanding when pared with cucumber, salt, white vermouth, lime, and soda/seltzer. Only 3/4 oz of Salers and 3/4 oz of vermouth make for a delicious adult refresher on a hot day.

I love spritzes and this book covers the history, interesting facts and includes recipes. The cover is a cute and fun vintage picture and I angled it on the bookcase so it could be seen. Love this and even got one for my sister as a gift. She loved it too! Very happy with this purchase.

The content is great but the printing quality of the book is not sharp, it is something I care about when buying my favorite cookbooks.//El contenido muy bien pero la calidad de impresión no sobresale, es algo que también busco a la hora de comprar libros de cocina-bebida
