Salty/Acidity
Seltz Limone e Sale
This drink is courtesy of Julia Bainbridge from her book Good Drinks. A staple in Italian coastal beach towns, this drink is refreshing and perfect for that salty taste lover. Mix these 3 simple ingredients and imagine you are basking in the Italian sun.
Recipe:
Juice of half a lemon
½ tsp of sea salt
1 cup (or so) of soda water
Add a small amount of ice to a Collins glass, and pour soda in until it’s almost at the top. Squeeze in the lemon juice fresh, and drop in the sea salt. Give it a stir and enjoy!
Sweet

2 ounces Sexy AF Viirgiin
½ ounce Sexy AF Triple Sexy
¾ cup cranberry juice cocktail
¼ lime juice
1 orange peel, plus the 1 tsp of zest
Ice
Add all ingredients except the orange peel to a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a fancy martini glass and garnish with the orange peel!
Bitter
Negroni
This is another classic Italian drink for those who love a bitter taste, but don’t want the 3 - 4 ounces of alcohol in the classic boozy version.
Recipe:
1 small bottle of Crodino or other bitter Italian soda or syrup base
2 ounce Free Spirit gin
1 oz Roots Rosso alcohol-free red vermouth
Orange peel
Sour
AF Whiskey Sour
We all love a good Whiskey Sour, but have you tried the AF version? The taste is to die for, and with the right balance of ingredients, you won’t even notice that it’s zero-proof!
Recipe:
2 ounce Lyre’s American Malt
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce simple syrup
Garnish with: orange slice and/or maraschino cherry
