BEVERAGES


Try a splash of the flavor of your choice of Antica’s Balsamics in flat or sparkling water. Give it a stir and your good to go.  


Make cocktails with it! Add a tablespoon or two of any fruity Antica  balsamic to the spirit of your choice and club soda. Give it a stir and VOILA! You have a refreshing, light cocktail.  


We like to muddle a mixed batch of fresh fruit with about two tablespoons of your choice of Antica's fruity balsamics per cup of fresh fruit.  Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and stonefruits are perfect for this.  Add a tablespoon to your balsamic flavored sparkling water or cocktail.  It's yummy & pretty too! It stores nicely in the fridge for a week or two.
