Cocktail Party Menu
Cocktails:
1. Americano: (vermouth, bitter liqueur and club soda became known by its current name because of its popularity among American visitors to Milan in the early 1900s.)
2. Bicicletta: Apparently named after elderly men who would swerve all over the road on their way home after a few too many drinks at the bar, the Bicicletta is another classy way to begin a meal, this time making a long drink from the local wines and spirits. (Campari Liqueur, Pinot Grigiot, and Club Soda)
3. Peach Bellini (A Bellini Cocktail is a mixture of Prosecco Sparkling Wine and peach purée or nectar. This cocktail originated in Venice, Italy.)
