Fresh Twist on Summer Entertaining: Finger Foods + Spritz Del Conte
Summer may be barbecue season, but that doesn’t mean every get-together has to be a burger and beer bash. eMeals’ new Italian Twist on Summer recipe collection offers a lighter and brighter alternative: a choice of 12 easy-to-make appetizers and brunch dishes that perfectly pair with Spritz Del Conte, Riboli Family Wines’ new ready-to-serve Italian spritz. Simply twist, pour over ice (no mixers required!) and let your guests chill out with a refreshing beverage.
Available free on eMeals’ Italian Twist on Summer landing page or in the Bonus Collection of the eMeals app for subscribers, the collection centers around finger foods ideal for socializing either inside or outdoors.
- Looking for pick-me-up mains? Try Melon and Prosciutto Skewers threaded with mozzarella pearls, Bacon-Wrapped Dates stuffed with Boursin cheese, Mini Crab Cakes topped with a sweet tomato relish, and/or Roasted Shrimp Cocktail served a tangy remoulade.
- Must have bread-based canapés? Choices include Tomato Crostini with Prosciutto and Manchego drizzled with honey, Roasted Tomato BLTs garnished with basil and microgreens and Pecan-Crusted Pork Tenderloin Crostini topped with strawberry balsamic compote.
- Seeking inspired dips and sides? Get creative with Whipped Feta Dip served with pita chips and vegetables, Caramelized Onion Dip served with spiced potato chips, and/or Street Corn Brussels Sprouts topped with an elote-style spread.
- Need a no-hassle dessert? Key Lime Mousse and/or Mini Cherry Tarts will do the trick, each with only 15 or 20 minutes of prep time.
Every recipe in the collection is perfectly complemented by Spritz Del Conte, the newest entry in the wildly popular spritz category. Inspired by the Italian “dolce vita,” it’s crafted with Prosecco made from Glera grapes and a secret blend of 20 aromatic botanicals from Riboli Family Wines; available in both classic (8.5 percent ABV) and non-alcoholic (<0.5 percent ABV) options; and caters to every palate with its bubbly character with hints of orange and a touch of bitterness. Whether you’re a seasoned spritz enthusiast or simply seeking a light and refreshing drink, it’s a great way to twist, pour and spritz your way into the summer season and beyond.
