Wine & Beverage List

Apertivo

Aperol Spritz

A refreshing mix of Prosecco, Aperol & soda – wildly popular in Italy! Aperol, made of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb & cinchona, originated in 1919 in Padua 16.5

Bellini

This delightful combination of Prosecco & peach puree was named after Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini. The colour of the beverage reminded its originator of the colour of a toga in one of Bellini’s paintings. A little history and yours for 12.5

Negroni

This concoction was first mixed in Florence in 1919 for Count Camillo Negroni after he requested a little extra ‘zing’ in his usual cocktail – out went the soda, in came the gin… and the Negroni was born! Gin, Campari, Sweet Vermouth 16.5
