3 classic cocktails with an Italian twist.

There is a reason why certain cocktails are called classic. But there’s an even better reason why you should make classic cocktails with an Italian twist. That reason is vinegar.

This post contains recipe links to sponsored content created for DeNigris 1889 #ItalianVinegar.

Italian vinegar in a cocktail is a secret weapon.

Basically, I desperately want to get the word out that stocking good quality vinegar in your pantry means that whenever you have a recipe that calls for an acid, like lime or lemon juice… vinegar is your loyal best friend. Instead of being 100% tart and all bitter-faced like citrus, stocking the right vinegars will give both depth and balance that marries well with spirits.  It’s a simple little swap. So small that you would think that it wouldn’t make a difference. Sì, naturalmente. Yes, of course it makes a difference!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you 3 classic cocktails with an Italian twist that I believe everyone should make the “simple little swap” to transform your new five-o’clock.

I’m tickled pink over these and can’t wait for you to try them. Will you let me know what you think? I know that not everyone is not “into” cocktails, so I think that these classic cocktails with an Italian twist could easily be converted into mocktails. If this is something that interests you, please leave me a comment and I will be happy to figure it out. I mean, there is no reason to leave anyone out, right?

Cheers!

I’m so thankful for you and I hope you are doing well.

Can you think of other classic cocktails with an Italian twist that would be delicious?

Eat well, my friends.

⁠
Great news, the recipe for making their Championship Chili is right on the Pure Texan Chili Mix bag and it is sooooooo easy to make.⁠
⁠
We’re talking simple no-fuss steps: ⁠
⁠
Brown two-pounds ground beef, drain and add mix, add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 10 ounces of water. Summer very slow for 45 minutes and voila! Done!⁠

Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠
⁠
This isn’t any ordinary candied pecan recipe – it’s extraordinary! We’re adding spices. ⁠

Not just any ordinary spice – we’re adding @puretexanchili mix.⁠
⁠
That’s right, chili mix!⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
