Italian aperitivo culture gains ground in American homes
American watch parties adopt Italian aperitivo rituals with spritzes and botanical blends as a culturally resonant way to connect with the 2026 Winter Olympics, experts say.
- During the 2026 Winter Olympics, American watch-party hosts adopt Italian aperitivo rituals while streaming events through major network apps for coordinated at-home gatherings.
- With the Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, hosts adopt Italian aperitivo, which comes from Latin 'aperire', as a pre-dinner ritual, prompting themed menus.
- Recipes range from classic orange spritzes to rosé-based variations, built simply over ice using Contratto, producer of aperitif wines, and Martini & Rossi, producer of bitter liqueurs.
- Zero-Proof options such as nonalcoholic botanical blends and cold-steeped herbal teas provide inclusive alternatives for non-drinking U.S. watch-party attendees, preserving the aperitivo as a pre-dinner ritual.
- Mainstream coverage from food writers like Jennifer Allen and producers highlights the aperitivo trend during the Feb. 6 to March 15 Games window in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
