A Joyous Blend You Can Raise A Glass To

(NAPSA) – One way to discover the meaning of ‘gioia di vivere,’ Italian for ‘joy of living,’ is to mix up a pitcher of Sangria. While typically a Spanish drink, why not try an Italian twist on this classic cocktail?

There are many delights that pair well with this unique Sangria, such as cheese, olives or prosciutto that can transform your patio into a classic Italian terrazza.

No need to waste time away from your guests (over 21 years old) mixing individual cocktails. The blend of aromatic herbs and spices in Martini & Rossi vermouth does the work of adding all the flavor, while fresh fruits serve as the finishing touch that will liven up any warm-weather bash.
