All the fresh Italian flavors you love about a Caprese salad are in this delightful delicious Italian Caprese cocktail. Enjoy one today.
Trying to recreate all the great tastes of a Caprese salad into a cocktail seemed like a no brainer to me.
Next time I think I’ll add more basil (you add as much as you like) and I forgot to add the olives on the skewers, DUH, but all in all I think it was a winner, and one we’ll serve again.
