Drinks

Aperol Spritz.

Bright bubbles carry bitter orange and herbal notes into a dry finish. The alcohol level is relatively low, though this is not a zero-proof drink.

More Chairs Than Planned

The drink’s orange and bittersweet edge handle the salty richness of the feta, while the bubbles reset the palate after each bite. Peach draws out Aperol’s fruitier side, and toasted pistachios keep the dish firmly in aperitif territory. One large platter also lasts longer than six separate decisions.
