Description

The Rosso e Freddo (Italian for "Red and Cold") is an uncomplicated and very refreshing wine aperitif. It is a great alternative to the classic spritz variations and perfect for enjoying a bottle of red wine even on warmer days. The fruity notes of the wine combine with the tart bitterness of Campari and the fresh sweetness of orange juice. Served on ice, it is a light and quaffable drink that is ideal for the summer.

  1. Fill a highball glass with plenty of ice cubes.
  2. Pour the red wine, Campari, and orange juice directly into the glass.
  3. Stir gently with a bar spoon.
  4. Garnish with a large orange slice and serve immediately.
