Mastering the Art of Mindful Mixology at Café Mila
At Café Mila, we believe that every sip should be a sensory experience – one that delights the palate, nourishes the body, and uplifts the spirit. As the seasons shift and the air grows crisper, we invite you to indulge in a cocktail that captures the essence of autumn’s haunting allure. Introducing the Pig’s Blood Spritz, a delightfully sinister twist on the classic Aperol spritz.
This cocktail is a testament to our commitment to crafting innovative libations that marry the finest local and seasonal ingredients with a touch of the unexpected. Inspired by the iconic climactic scene in Stephen King’s Carrie, the Pig’s Blood Spritz boasts a vibrant red hue that is both captivating and a bit unsettling. But fear not, dear guests – this is no trick, only a delicious treat.
Embracing the Seasonal Harvest
At the heart of the Pig’s Blood Spritz is the bittersweet charm of Aperol, which lends its signature orange notes to the drink. We’ve balanced this with the tartness of cranberry juice, creating a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and full of depth. The effervescence of prosecco and soda water lighten the cocktail, making it the perfect accompaniment to the crisp autumn air.
But we didn’t stop there. To truly capture the essence of the season, we’ve garnished the Pig’s Blood Spritz with a slice of fresh orange and a sprig of fragrant mint. These vibrant touches not only elevate the visual appeal of the drink but also infuse it with the comforting aromas of fall.

Uncovering the Secrets of Café Mila’s Signature Cocktail
The Inspiration Behind the Pig’s Blood Spritz
