If your go-to cocktail is an Aperol spritz, let the bartenders at Riva expand your horizons and introduce you to a whole new world of Italian-style spritzes.

Located at the St. Regis Longboat Key Resort in Longboat Key, Florida, Riva celebrates coastal Italian fare and local seafood in dishes like house-made agnolotti with spinach and ricotta filling, Key West shrimp, Prosecco reduction and osetra caviar. The restaurant, which is open all day, has a breezy outdoor terrace with pool and ocean views.

Cocktails at Riva have the same luxurious and eye-catching appeal, like these fresh takes on classic Italian-style spritzes. The Hugo è Piccante (left) adds a spicy kick to the traditional Hugo spritz with jalapeño-infused st. germain, fresh mint and Prosecco. The Porto (center) is an elegant take on the Aperol spritz with the addition of lychees and Lillet Blanc. And the Tramonto gives the Campari spritz a tangy sweetness with Campari, strawberries, cranberries and sparkling Italian wine.
