Dating back to Roman times—a truly age-old classic—this delicious fruity cocktail is adaptable to any palate, pairing well with soft and strong flavors, sweet and savory dishes alike.
Try one of the slightly thicker red wine versions with your favorite selection of cheeses or a spicy chorizo-based dish for dinner. In the mood for a late afternoon sip and snack?
