Lake Como

Chapter 11: Beverages

Location: Lake Como

Ringed by mountains and lined with villas that have hosted the wealthy and the famous for centuries, Lake Como has always been about slowing down — a lakeside spritz at golden hour, a coffee taken standing at a marble counter, no reason to rush either one.

This chapter borrows that pace: seven drinks covering the full day, from an almond milk latte to start the morning through to a limoncello and an espresso martini for after dinner, each rebuilt to keep the carbs where they belong — out of the glass.
