Drinks at Sidewalk Cafes - Italy
I will be sitting at some sidewalk cafe in Italy in about two weeks. As I sit there resting my weary feet, I want a drink. But--I don't drink carbonated bevages or coffee. I really like a nice Cosmo! Is this possible? Or what else do you all recommend?

If you want something vaguely similar similar to a Cosmopolitan, try a Tiziano. Same color, not quite as strong. It is very slightly carbonated, due to a splash of Champagne, but not too much; and very refreshing.

Hi jm,
I second the limoncello.
Why are you saving the wine for dinner? For your health you should drink at least 3 glasses of wine a day, preferably spaced between your morning cappucino and your evening espresso.

actually, i don't recommend making a cosmo with cointreau. a traditional cosmopolitan is made with triplesec (sp?) and it tastes much better that way. 3 parts vodka, 2 parts triplesec, 2 splashes of cranberry juice, a squeeze of lime.

I just came back from Rome, and many bars I went to made all the most popular mixed drinks. If you are dying for a cosmo & one restaurant doesn't serve them, just walk down the block, and I'm sure you'll find one. Also (if you're in Rome), there is a place called the American Bar & Grille (something like that), located near Navona. If you are walking north through the square, it is on a little side street to your left, about mid-way through the paizza. They have everything, and also have an outdoor area. Have fun.
