Cocktails

Normally, I don't drink cocktails. They're often too sweet. But since our trip to Firenze in July, I developed a like for Aperol Spritz.

It's a drink that's easy to mix. Just fill a big glass with ice cubes, then add a measure aperol, two measures prosecco (or even a bit more) and a slice of orange. Stir, and it's ready.

It's a great drink for when it's hot. Sitting on the terrace, watching everything go by (from where we are: ships entering and leaving the port of Zeebrugge, the traffic on the coastal road below, the pedestrians who take the underground tunnel to cross the road, ... we can even see the church towers of Bruges when the weather is clear), sipping an Aperol Spritz. Yes, life can be good!

Unfortunately, the weather isn't that great nowadays. There is some sun, but also some cloud, and the temperatures are around 23° Celsius. Not bad, but not good either. For me summer means temperatures of at least 25° and lots of sunshine.

And what about you? What's your favorite cocktail? Or what means summer to you?
