FROM THE WIRES...
WHAT: On July 3, North Italia will kick off summer with its annual Summer Sips campaign featuring 13 new, limited edition cocktails created by the restaurant’s local bartenders and inspired by la dolce vita. Bringing the spirit of “Aperitiki” to life, North is giving tropical tiki drinks an aperitivo twist by using Italian liqueurs, fresh fruit, and spices. In addition to the 13 regional cocktails, of which 3 will be available nationally, guests looking for a tropical, non-alcoholic option can imbibe on a bartender-crafted mocktail, available from coast to coast.
And the Aperitiki vibes don’t stop there! North will host extended weekend happy hours first (7/6-7/7) and final (8/31-9/1) weekends of the campaign, where they’ll commemorate the season with thirst-quenching discounts, gift card giveaways and more. Those dining at North during standard happy hour times can expect $2-$3 off on the LTO drinks. Plus, North will unveil a delectable brunch prix fixe menu in August, and those details are coming soon.
The Summer Sips campaign officially launches on July 3rd and will run through Labor Day. For more details, please see below or visit www.northitalia.com/summer-sips.
