3 Soul Kitchen cocktails for an unusual homemade aperitivo
For the Saper Fare [Home Edition] column, Soul Kitchen has given us the recipes for three easy drinks to mix at home while we wait to be able to sip and sup together under Manifattura’s smoke stack.
No previous mixology skills required: the directions are simple and straightforward and ingredients can be found in almost any supermarket.
