Food & Drink: The Spritz

In the spirit of "fake it till you make it" (because, yes, the temps are still hovering in the high 50's here in Geneva); I'm trading in my cold-weather red wine apertif for warm weather refreshment.  While, this and this will still make a strong showing this summer; I can't help but add this ubiquitous European favorite to my bar...

.... on a hot summer's day; this is about as pretty and refreshing as they come...
... add a couple of good friends, some music, a warm breeze, and a comfortable seat outdoors... and, yep, perfection.... can't wait!
