    The calendar says that fall is almost here, but yo The calendar says that fall is almost here, but you can keep the “Endless Summer” going with the Angeleno Spritz from @venturaspirits! Inspired by the Aperol Spritz, this RTD cocktail with a SoCal vibe is a lighter, brighter take on the Italian classic. 🍊🍋🍾 @conspiritor.us says: “With the citrus burst of @amaroangeleno as its base, brightened up with soda water and a hint of grapefruit, this sparkling canned cocktail is an incredibly easy-drinking option for a sunny day outdoors.” 🌞 😎 🏖 The Angeleno Spritz is available in 6-packs (x 200ml / 7.5% ABV) via the Ventura Spirits website, and at select retail stores like @barkeepersilverlake and @hiloliquor. Cheers! #thirstyinla #angelenospritz #venturaspirits

Case in point is the Negroni recipe - a mix of classic and modern: 1 oz each of @campariusa, @martini sweet vermouth, and @fordsgin. “The New Craft of the Cocktail” will be published by @clarksonpotter on Sept. 22.
