Aperitiki Cocktail Recipe

For Parm Boyz, serving aperitiki cocktails, like the White Negroni Piña Colada, at their twice-monthly Italian-American pop-up made perfect sense. The concept of aperitiki offered a way to bring the unexpected to a red-sauce concept in the form of tropical drinks, but do them in a way that keeps the Italian through-line while leaning low-ABV, so the drinks are better companions with food.
