Giada's Apple Cider Sangria

Sangria is such a great drink to make when you're hosting people: you make a big batch so you don't have to assemble cocktails on the fly, you have to make it in advance, and it's a wonderful way to put a spotlight on seasonal produce to make any gathering feel festive. This apple cider sangria is the perfect example; with apple cider, fresh apples and oranges and raspberries and a few cinnamon sticks, it's just about as autumnal as a drink can get.

Yes, You Can Have Classic Italian Cocktails Without the Booze

Nonalcoholic versions of our favorite cocktails are not only possible, they’re just as good as the real thing. It’s no secret we love the Italian tradition of aperitivo, the happy hour-style period before dinner when friends gather over a refreshing cocktail and a few salty snacks to kick off the evening.

Italian Old Fashioned

My version includes my favorite North Italian Amarena cherries, and I use that luxurious cherry syrup instead of sugar and water. It gives the drink such a great rich sweetness, and of course, you need a few of the whole cherries on a skewer to complete the drink. Cin cin!

Seltz Al Limone (Salted Lemon Seltzer)

This drink, which translates to “lemon seltzer,” is a beloved hot-day refresher in Sicily. It’s about as simple as can be: a blend of fresh lemon juice, salt, and sparkling water.

Milano-Torino Cocktail

Before the Negroni, and even before the Aperol spritz, there was the Milano Torino. Named after the location each of the ingredients comes from - Campari from Milan, and sweet Vermouth from Turin - this simple cocktail is said to have originated in Milan’s Caffe Camparino in the 1860s. It's a strong cocktail, but well balanced between sweet and bitter - perfect to enjoy before a meal!

Aperol Punch

A big batch of anything with Aperol, especially in summer, and we are there for it. The light bitter notes of the grapefruit seltzer only bring out the brightness of the Aperol. In Italy, the Aperol Spritz is the most ubiquitous aperitivo - aka, a pre-dinner cocktail! Making it in a larger batch is perfect for serving up to company. Note: this recipe fits perfectly in a standard pitcher. If you are filling a punch bowl, feel free to double or even triple the recipe! Credit: Lizzy Newman

Italian Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is one of the most classic bourbon cocktails in existence - and one of the most classic cocktails, period! This is my Italian spin on the drink. It usually consists of bourbon, bitters, and a bit of simple syrup with an orange peel.
