Celebrate the Campari Spritz at this NYC event
Campari Spritz

New York is getting a spritz-themed takeover, as aperitivo brand Campari is setting up a Campari Spritz Square in downtown NYC. The weekend of June 14 and 15, the 171 E. Broadway hub within Chinatown and the Lower East Side will host a weekend dedicated to all things Campari Spritz, including art and jewelry displays, a live DJ, and of course food and music.

The idea of the event is not just to highlight the drink -- which is a bitter, more bracing alternative to the ever-popular Aperol Spritz, that you'll see enjoyed all over Italy -- but also to promote the Italian aperitivo culture which involves small snacks and light cocktails for the early evenings before a meal.

I’m going to be drinking this refreshing spritz all summer long
Lillet

The spritz is an iconic summer drink, but my very favorite type of spritz isn't made with Aperol -- instead, it uses Lillet. If you haven't tried Lillet before, it's a little like vermouth, but with a hefty bitter edge from quinine that I love. If you enjoy the bitter and refreshing edge of tonic water, then I reckon you'd love Lillet Blanc too.

My usual go-to Lillet spritz recipe is equal parts of Lillet and sparkling water, plus an absolute ton of cucumber slices, all served in a big copa glass over a large ice cube. I find that the cucumber gives a crisp, juicy addition to the drink and makes for a lovely low-ABV sipper.

Espresso shot from an espresso machine

My espresso machine is by far my favorite kitchen appliance (even more so than my air fryer, which is next in line). Once you adjust to drinking shots of espresso, a concentrated, pressurized version of coffee, just using a drip coffee maker simply isn't enough. Though many people rely on the magic brewing process that ensues inside espresso machines, few take the time to appreciate the process of how an espresso machine works.

Let's examine the brewing process to discover what makes espresso machines so special (and different from a regular coffee maker). Doug Parkison, Category Director at De'Longhi Group, shared his expertise to explain what happens inside your espresso maker.
