Rome With A View is a cocktail that is just as romantic and decadent. And you can pair it with some classic Italian foods that would give your cocktail evening a very elegant touch.
The perfect food pairing with an aperitivo is cured meats whose salty, chewy profile nicely compliments the fresh flavours of your pre dinner drink. You can prepare crostini using sliced baguette or sourdough and layer it with ricotta, prosciutto and asparagus.
A bread dish made from tramezzini or a soft, milk-based bread, these finger sandwiches are ideal for an early evening snack. The small, crustless, bite-sized pieces can be stuffed with tuna, capers, hard-boiled eggs or radicchio for a timeless sandwich that can be popped into your mouth.
One of the freshest dishes you can prepare to serve with your Room With A View cocktail is the prawn sliders full of the sweet flavours of the crustacean. The lemon aioli is a tangy sauce that goes well with seafood and its zest matches the lip smacking notes of lime juice.
An Italian classic, the antipasto platter is a very interesting pairing for your refreshing cocktail. It is full of a variety of cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano and even some aged gouda that have very robust flavours which manage to act as clever palate cleansers.
Make a frittata with eggplant and zucchini or greens like baby spinach to craft an appetiser that is flavourful and fun. You can circulate mini frittatas among your guests as a quick bite when you host a cocktail evening.
Look no further than a seafood risotto when you want to serve something a tad bit sumptuous with your aperitivo. The Room With A View cocktail is an ode to the Italian city.
