Summer Cocktails at Amalfi Cucina + Mercato

Summer Cocktails in Buckhead: Sip the Season at Amalfi

When the summer sun heats up, nothing beats an artisanal cocktail by our patio at Amalfi Cucina & Mercato. Our Buckhead team have crafted a seasonal beverage lineup that combines Italian-inspired refreshment with warm-weather flair. Here's your guide to summer sipping—and how to book the perfect sunset moment.

1. Amalfi Frosé: A true summertime staple: frozen rosé blended with hints of strawberry and lemon. It's light, chill, and ideal for sipping poolside or under the patio canopy.

2. Zonin Lemon Spritz: Inspired by Southern Italy's lemon groves, this spritz mixes Zonin prosecco and bright citrus. Effervescent, refreshing, and subtly sweet—a perfect aperitivo.

3. Hibiscus Fiore: Vibrant hibiscus meets elderflower and gin for a floral, aromatic cooler reminiscent of an Amalfi Coast garden in full bloom.

4. Classic Aperol Spritz: An Italian favorite—Aperol, prosecco, soda, and an orange slice. Light, bubbly, and endlessly refreshing.

5. Berry Blitz: Summer berries burst through this vodka-based sipper, finished with mint and a splash of soda. Bold, fruity, and fun.

6. Amalfi Old Fashioned: Our take on a classic, using artisanal bitters and a hint of citrus, served over a jumbo ice cube for a slowly unfolding evening sip.

7. Espresso'­tini: For those who want to transition from sundown to late-night—Our Espresso'tini perfectly blends coffee and cocktail for a smooth pick-me-up.

Why It Works:

High-touch with Italian flair. Each cocktail is handcrafted using top-shelf Italian spirits—Zonin, Aperol, fine bitters—bringing genuine Naples-style refinement to Buckhead.

Seasonal, sustainable ingredients. We use fresh citrus, herbs, and fruit sourced locally or directly from Italy—peak-season flavor with a light, eco-aware footprint.

Patio-centric atmosphere. Our Buckhead patio blends al fresco luxury with a romance-first ambiance—fairy lights, greenery, and laid-back sophistication.

Private event possibilities. Hosting a rehearsal dinner, birthday, or summer fête? We package tailored to groups of 1 offer cocktail 5-60, with bar service options. Contact our events team.
