Aperitif

While vacationing in Italy I wanted to find a popular cocktail to post on my blog. I found one in Venice that we really enjoyed. It is a Venetian Aperitif. As you walk along the canal around 5pm you will see many people drinking this bright orange aperitif. It is called a Spritz.

 
This is a recipe that tastes very similar to the Spritz we drank in Venice.
 Fill a glass with ice and add:
1/3 cup white wine, 1/3 cup carbonated water
1/3 cup Aperol  (if you prefer a bitter taste, try Campari)
lemon peel
one olive

Spritz
Here is another recipe I found:
2 to 3 ounces Prosecco or any sparkling wine
1 1/2 ounces Aperol
Splash of Club Soda
Orange wedge or slice
Green Olive (optional

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray   1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water   Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base."   Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
