We opened a little bar called Pisellino across the street from Via Carota in 2019. It’s an homage to drinking all things Italian, inspired by our favorite cafés in Florence and Milan. We think that a fresh-squeezed juice and your latte macchiato should feel just as special as an evening cocktail. When we make this non-alcoholic beverage, the Bevanda al Cetriolo or Cucumber Spritz, we make a simple lime cordial for a dash of good old-fashioned bartending.

This recipe was excerpted from 'Via Carota' by Jody Williams and Rita Sodi with Anna Kovel. Buy the full book on Amazon.
