Villa Ashworth Bar Ostuni

Invitation only Private Rooftop Bar Nestled in The hills of Ostuni or "La Città Bianca"  high above the vast olive-carpeted plateau of the lower Murgia, Ostuni founded by an indigenous tribe some 600 years before Christ. The People of Ostuni Started the practice of lime-washing the town as a means of lightening up the dark, labyrinthine medieval streets but in the 17th century it became a matter of life and death and was used to limit the spread of the plague. The striking View of the white city has long been an awe-inspiring sight for those travelling across Puglia.

Basil Dazzle, Or Basil Vodka Gimlet

This fragrant twist on the gimlet cocktail gets its clean green notes not from lime juice but from fresh basil.
