The Aperol Spritz Mood Board
A playlist, a recipe, and five summer outfits: our favorite Italian cocktail is a whole vibe.
Ed note: Lots of new faces around here! If you need a quick refresh on who I am and what The Love List is…
Dead-simple, low-octane, and a pre-meal mainstay: is there any greater summer tradition than an aperitivo hour Spritz?
Whether you’re at Il Pellicano drunk on the Amalfi sunset or stateside on Instagram, feeling pangs of Florentine FOMO, a Spritz means the best of Italy can be enjoyed anywhere.
But La Dolce Vita doesn’t end at the bottom of your glass. This season, Aperol’s rich blood-orange hue has found its way onto the runway and into stores, drenching everything from knits to glassware.
It’s a punchy, vibrant vibe that foils well the sweetness of doing absolutely nothing. Cin cin!

(Feel free to sub Aperol with Cappelletti, or add make-at-home club soda)
