Start the Evening with a Handcrafted Cocktail
A great Italian dinner deserves a great cocktail, and Johnny Costa’s offers drinks that are perfect for enjoying before dinner or alongside your meal.
One standout is the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini, pictured above. This rich cocktail combines the bold flavor of espresso with sweet caramel notes and a touch of salt for a smooth, indulgent drink. It is a perfect choice for coffee lovers and can easily take you from cocktail hour into dessert.
Guests can also enjoy refreshing Italian-inspired cocktails such as the Aperol Spritz and Hugo Spritz. The Aperol Spritz offers a bright, citrusy and slightly bittersweet flavor, while the Hugo Spritz is lighter and more floral. Both pair especially well with Italian appetizers, seafood and pasta.
