Recipes
A drinks menu for your bench.
Sparkling water, one Italian syrup, and whatever the fridge offers. The whole menu runs on three moves, so the only real choice is which mood you are in tonight.

Three moves.
Every pour.
Learn it once and the rest is just garnish. Each recipe below is a variation on these three.
01
Pour the syrup
A measure over a glass of ice. Concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
02
Press for bubbles
Top with your own fresh sparkling water, straight from the machine.
03
Finish and serve
Herbs, citrus, a few seeds, an optional measure of spirit. Yours now.
Start with the spritz.
If you make one, make this. The pour that turns a Tuesday into an aperitivo.
