Recipe: Portofino Spritz

Aperitivo hour is sacred in Portofino’s Piazzetta. When the light from the setting sun casts a golden glow over the town, everyone seems to settle in for a spritz and a snack ahead of their evening meal. Personal preference dictates drink orders, and throughout the Piazzetta you’ll spot electric orange Aperol and bright red Campari spritzes being served alongside glasses of good Ligurian wine. 

It’s here you’ll find Splendido Mare, A Belmond Hotel which was once a hall for the local fishermen to gather after bringing in their catch of the day. This spritz is designed to capture the romance of spending an aperitivo hour here in Portofino.
