Italian Drinks

Limoncello, Amaretto Sours, Cappuccinos, Sangrias and MORE!




italian drinks
Italian drinks are more than just Cappuccinos or Amaretto Sours. We don't just serve the same drinks all year long. We have a variety - both alchoholic and non-alchoholic.

These alcholic and non-alcholic drink recipes use popular Italian ingredients. And you can make all of these at home! Too, many of the Italian liqueurs are used in our Italian dessert recipes. So you can get double use - your drink and a dessert!

As for the non-alchohlic recipes - there's no magic to cappuccinos or espressos. We tend to think these are complex and intricate drink recipes. Truth is - we are just charged a lot at Starbucks, Scooters, and all the other coffee houses. There's really not that much to them!

I stumbled accross a fellow web geek who sells kits to build your own wine cellar. Vintage Harvest Wine Racks is a modular wine storage system for the non-contractor, the average man or woman, to create their own wine rack design and then install that wine cellar ideal in their own home!







lisa gianotti I love sugar and I eat dessert EVERYDAY! Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something.

When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest.

So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook.



I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style.

I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.

Lisa
