The ritual of the aperitif is about far more than the drink itself, it’s an invitation to slow down, gather with friends, and savor the hours between day and night. This year’s Readers’ Choice Award nominees celebrate that easygoing spirit in three distinctly different ways, from a chic Italian-inspired cocktail destination in New York City to a European-style wine bar in Washington, D.C., and a colorful rooftop cantina overlooking Los Angeles. Whether you’re lingering over a perfectly mixed spritz, sharing small plates, or soaking up golden-hour views, these standout spots prove that aperitif culture is as much about the atmosphere as what’s in your glass.<\/p>\n
