Mozzarella crostini + Limoncello prosecco cocktail

WELCOME!! To the CROSTINI + COCKTAIL PARTY. Throughout December I will be sharing my favourite Italian inspired crostini toppings for the perfect bite, accompanied with a complimentary cocktail.

I have worked with my fabulous Italian mixologist friend Angelo, in Puglia, to come up with this amazing menu.

This year the festive celebrations will have to be slightly downplayed. However, it’s important to keep that festive party vibe alive, even though for many of us it may not be what we would ideally like. However it’s important to keep those good times rolling with our own delicious fun at home.

These crostini and cocktails will definitely lift up your spirits.

Here is a simple but delicious mozzarella crostini topped with red chilli and black olives served on grapefruit dressed rocket. Plus learn to make the ‘PAOLETTA‘ an Italian inspired cocktail with limoncello, Prosecco and grapefruit juice. Named after me, Angelo says, Paoletta is based on a British classic cocktail, a gin collins, but given an Italian touch. I love it!.

Enjoy my bambinos!
