Drink cocktails in Milan

Milan is located in the north of Italy, which means that life here follows other rules, which do not coincide with the southern and central regions of the country. For example, the restaurants may adhere to unusual opening hours, and offer lunch only after 1:30 PM and dinner after 8 o’clock in the evening. 

What cocktails do we drink in Milan?

The most popular drink here is “Spritz” – a low-alcohol drink that is a mix of sparkling wine (“prosecco”), soda water and an aperitif called Aperol. 

There are some “accidental” cocktails, such as Negroni Sbagliato. One local bartender at Basso Bar (located via Plinio 39, in Milan) simply mixed up the ingredients of the Negroni cocktail, accidentally adding spumante instead of gin.

You can also try Caprese Mary, which consists of vodka, tomato juice, basil and mozzarella.
