Skip the flight, mix these cocktails and pretend you’re in Italy. All it takes is the right drink, a tasty bite and a dash of imagination.
Ah geez, it’s happened again. Winter’s in full swing and you're asking your past self the big question: why in the world didn’t I book an international holiday to escape the cold?

For the rest of us, the not-booking-a-holiday regret is sinking in faster than the honey on our morning porridge.
Once you’ve promised yourself that next year you’ll jump on airfare deals and fire up the group chat, turn your attention to this list of cocktails that capture a little piece of some place warmer.
