When visiting Italy, it’s easy to get lost in the incredible history, food, culture, and landmarks. But, an often-overlooked element is the fantastic array of drinks in Italy that you simply have to try out!
Limoncello originated right on the Amalfi Coast, on the island of Capri to be exact. You can enjoy it as a nice aperitif or more commonly as the Italians do, as an after-dinner digestif.
Sambuca is a colourless liqueur with a very high alcohol content and a strong aniseed taste. It is often enjoyed “con la Mosca” (translated means “with fly”), but in reality means that 3 coffee beans are floated on top and chewed while drinking.
If you’ve ever enjoyed a dry Italian red wine, it’s probably Chianti. Produced in the largest wine-producing region in Italy, Chianti is the most famous wine in Tuscany and definitely worth a try!
A refreshing Bellini is the perfect Italian cocktail for a warm summer day. A sweet and fruity cocktail, it is made from just two ingredients: peach purée and Prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine.
