Cocktail Colin says:
The Rome With a View cocktail is a splendid testament to the Italian aperitivo, blending the bittersweet charm of Aperol with zesty lime and understated white vermouth. Its harmonious mix is lightened sublimely by the soda water, creating a refreshingly fizzy drink that eloquently captures the laid-back elegance of a Roman evening.
