Best-case scenario, your summer plans include a trip to Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast. If an idyllic getaway isn't in the cards, however, you can and should still partake in one of the best parts of Italian hospitality — aperitivo hour.

Some of our favorite Italian cocktails call for ingredients you likely already have at home and are incredibly simple to make, like a classic Negroni. Others get a bit more creative, like the Espresso Corretto Martini, which leans on tequila and grappa for a soothing, buzz-inducing nightcap, or the slushy, summer-friendly Sgroppino, which calls for vodka, lemon juice, and Prosecco.
