Now Pouring: North Italia Launches its ‘Summer Sips’ Cocktails

Jul 20, 20232 min read

North Italia is celebrating the season with its Summer Sips campaign featuring 14 limited edition cocktails created by the restaurant’s top bartenders across the country from East to West Coast, in addition to debuting a limited-time Happy Hour cocktail and food-to-go menu.

Priced at $15 each, these four beverages were thoughtfully created by North Italia mixologists from across the country who drew inspiration from classic cocktails like the Blue Hawaiian, Vodka Gimlets, and Whiskey Sour. These are drinks the team has been enjoying since their 21st birthday as a cheeky nod to North Italia turning 21 this year.

Here in Tucson, the restaurant is offering the Strawberry Singer, Dolce Fiore, Amarena Sour, and Il Cielo.
