Perhaps you’ve built a bar in your backyard for this unprecedented summer, or just gotten creative with your rooftop to recreate your favorite going-out experience. Maybe just the concept of hosting a fun, delicious, and safe gathering has paralyzed you with anxiety, but Real Simple is here to help you unwind, socialize, and sip at a distance. Have hand sanitizer at the ready and create your socially distanced bar with these DIY drinks that guests can mix up themselves! If you don’t want to buy multiple bottles, decant the aperitivi into small swing top bottles or recycled jars before guests arrive. For an added flare, you add individual bowls of garnishes like citrus wheels, herbs, or green olives. When guests arrive, walk them through the spritz making process: Fill the glass with ice, add equal portions of aperitivo and Prosecco, top with a splash of soda and garnish to your liking.
