APPETIZER
Aperitif time, the magical moment in which people relax by drinking low-alcohol cocktails, before an evening, is a ritual that continues to spread more and more, it starts from Italy and over the years it is getting more and more developing all over the world ..
"Derived from Latin, aperitif means" to open "both the appetite and the evening," says Rebekah Peppler, author of Apéritif: Cocktail Hour the French Way.
Generally the category of aperitifs have the function of opening the stomach before going to dinner or lunch.
Taking inspiration from the Italian tradition, drinks such as Negroni, Americano and Spritz have become and are part of the definition of the aperitif par excellence.
But as you well know, the public is increasingly attentive and open to experimentation, and I and many other colleagues around the world, carefully try to create and define new alternatives / trends of ritual proposals for the aperitif.
I'm currently having a lot of fun, particularly using seasonality (think swapping Aperol for Cynar in a spritz).
I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm sure this take on the seasonal aperitif is teasing you.
The secret to begin with lies in the seasonal bases.
What are the ingredients for the territory and season we can approach here now?
I am in Piedmont and it is now October.
I chose the artichoke, I love it, it is an ingredient that if extracted with the right technique releases anexceptional taste and softness.
As an aperitif product I chose Beermouth, and to conclude I decided to top it all off with a touch of Fentimans tonic.
It is a cocktail of medium difficulty, dictated only by the preparation technique (Sous Vide), otherwise everything is very simple.
Build mixing technique (pour everything directly into the glass with ice, considering that the tonic will be the last ingredient to be poured)
