Because some afternoons deserve bubbles and basil.
There’s something sacred about a slow summer afternoon—the kind where the sun lingers, the air feels sweet, and time stretches just enough to make room for beauty.
At Casa Dolce, we believe in capturing those moments.
Not with extravagance, but with intention.
And this peach & basil spritz is our love letter to all things warm, golden, and quietly joyful.
✨ Why We Love It
Light, crisp, and subtly herbal — like a summer garden in a glass
Easy to batch for gatherings or pour solo over ice
Showcases seasonal fruit and elevates the everyday

🖼️ Styling Notes
-
Use Casa Dolce's blue glass tumblers for a stunning contrast with the peach tones.
-
Serve on a linen runner with small ceramic bowls of olives or nuts nearby.
-
Best enjoyed outdoors… or next to an open window with sunlight and soft music.
đź’¬ Final Thought:
The beauty of an aperitivo isn't just in the drink—it's in the pause. The exhale. The space between day and evening where you raise your glass and say, "this moment matters."
Here’s to your summer rituals,
