A spritz made with dry vermouth rather than Aperol is a more grown-up proposition: fresher, less sweet and far more food-friendly

The orange bitters do quiet but important work here – a few dashes is all it takes to tie everything together.

France has a hosting secret and it’s all about creating maximum joy with minimum fuss. I’m sure you already know about l’heure de l’apéro – that golden hour before dinner with a glass of rosé and a few snacks: radishes with salted French butter, tapenade on little toasts… but did you know that apéro hour can quietly become dinner? In France, this is called apéro dînatoire and it stretches the apéro hour approach. Think chilled drinks, a selection of small plates (often shop-bought) and a handful of beautiful things on the table. No three courses, no elaborate table settings, no hard deadlines. Having grown up in Paris, I’m convinced this is one of the most underrated ways to have people over, and these effortless recipes are built for exactly that.
