How civilized to relish in a well-crafted Ramos Gin Fizz with breakfast, a Bellini while awaiting the lunch hour, an Aperol Spritz as one relishes the end of the work day, and perhaps a Negroni as we prepare for the evening meal? In the presence of a well-made cocktail, the entire day becomes just a little bit brighter!" - Tony Abou-Ganim, The Modern Mixologist "The right time for a cocktail?
