Never mind the season, it’s always a good time to have aperitivo with friends. A great way to end the day or the working week in good company, this quintessentially Italian habit has become pretty popular around the world, where it’s also known as “happy hour.”

We Italians tend to enjoy our end-of-the-day drinks with finger food of all kinds, which makes it all the more special: from pizzette, patatine e noccioline,  to gourmet options, many decide where they want fare l’aperitivo depending on the food the bar serves. When it comes to drinks, of course, everyone has a favorite tipple: personally, I am a Negroni person.
