Here’s why these new cocktails are ones you will be drinking on the patio all spring and summer long.

“These drinks spotlight the flavors of Italy and use fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs that are at their peak at this time of year,” says Salone.

In addition to layering flavors and ingredients to create balanced cocktails, the team is also doing their best to eliminate waste and promote sustainable practices for Osteria Via Stato’s beverage program.

“When we pull basil leaves to make fresh pesto, the leftover stems are cooked into a syrup providing the basil essence found in our new cocktail, the Naples Sun,” says Salone.
