From Couch to Capri: Italian Vibes Anytime with Blood Orange Spritz
Dreaming of a trip to the Italian coast but don’t have the budget? We’ve got you. With just a splash of Blood Orange Spritz and a little imagination, you can transform any night into a chic Italian escape—no passport (or pricey flight) required. Whether you're hosting a casual aperitivo hour, craving Mediterranean flavors, or just need a little la dolce vita on a budget, read on to bring your any-day escape to life.
Find the perfect ambiance.
Dining al fresco has a quintessentially European feel, so our first choice is undoubtedly a patio. Soak up the summer sun, warm breeze, and patio lights. If you’re looking for an indoor option, throw a striped tablecloth on your table, and open up the nearest window. Add in this Italian classics playlist if you’re feeling a little extra.
The Menu
To drink: Blood Orange Spritz, of course. Check out this blog post for our favorite Italian-inspired spritz recipes. We’d recommend our Blood Orange Aperitif (Blood Orange Spritz meets Aperol) or our twist on the Hugo Spritz, The GoGo Spritz.
The main meal: Margherita Pizza—a classic. Make your own, order in, or pick up a frozen option on your next grocery run (spruce it up with some fresh basil and you’ll be set!). The simplicity of this pizza always feels fresh, making it a great pair for Blood Orange Spritz.
For dessert: Chocolate gelato. Balance out rich and creamy chocolate gelato with the bright and fruity citrus notes of Blood Orange Spritz. A surprising delight that finishes the meal perfectly.
Continue the vibes.
