Christmas cocktail recipe from San Carlo

San Carlo Kiss

The bartenders at San Carlo know how to create a sparkle with their Christmas drinks. The recipe below is for a 'San Carlo Kiss' which is similar to an Aperol Spritz, with its combination of Prosecco and the Italian aperitif Aperol.

The San Carlo version swaps orange juice for lime and adds Ameretto for a Christmassy, almond flavour. More sophisticated than a snowball, and a much easier drink than a glass of egg nog. Try it at San Carlo or make your own at home.
