Thanksgiving Aperitivo

Wednesday, November 25 at 8 pm (Italy time) join us for a Thanksgiving Aperitivo and Cooking Class. Connect and share Thanksgiving memories over a Thanksgiving-inspired cocktail and dish prepared just for Columbia Alumni in Italy. Ellen Craig of Umbria Above along with cocktail expert Alessandro Bartoccio and chef Marco Basili will present to us a cocktail and a dish that combine the traditions of Thanksgiving with the flavors of Italian cuisine. The recipe for Bee Happy cocktail is posted below so that we can compose the cocktail together (virtually). After the presentation, we will connect, exchange stories about Thanksgiving at Columbia and around the world, and give our recognition and thanks for the support and generosity we have received throughout the year.
