Effervescent prosecco and earthy mezcal come together in this crisp summer spritz.

Your summer is incomplete until you’ve tried Gioia’s summer “Aperitivo Menu”! For prosecco fixes, choose between their house prosecco, Pitars DOC Extra Dry NY (Veneto), or their prosecco-base cocktail “Blossom Spritz,” made with Ketel One Peach Blossom, Aperol, and the house Prosecco.
