An evening of La Bella Vita with Frangelico & Me + a Contest

If you know me, you know I love a great cocktail. In Italy, we have what’s known as aperitivo, a ritual of meeting friends and family and having a pre-dinner drink. It happens every day and is one of my favorite traditions.As an entertaining editor and cookbook author, I get to enjoy my fair share of cocktails and I’ve come to know exactly what flavors suit different liquors, just how to order my drinks, and the art of mixology.As an entertaining expert, I know a good party always includes a great cocktail which is why I am hosting an event with Frangelico later this month. If don’t already know Frangelico then I’ll be sharing some new and inspiring cocktail recipes which will make you want to discover this classic Italian hazelnut liquor. If you do know it, then I want to help you rediscover this timeless taste of Italy.The exclusive party, which we’re calling an evening of La Bella Vita will feature a seasonal taste of Italy with festive food, tips for making the holidays unforgettable, and of course, Frangelico cocktails…And the best part?
