Beyond all the delicious wines and cocktails in Italy, spremuta is my favorite drink here. This delicious drink is the freshly squeezed juice of either oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. I have found this lovely drink at most bars around the city. In some of the supermercati, you can find some in a jug, but obviously this will not be as fresh as the juice you watch the barrista squeeze or make in the juicer at a bar.
I have tried the freshly squeezed orange juice from Rome to Florence and I decided that my favorite juice so far was squeezed at Caffe' Delle Arance. This cafe was my favorite for a number of reasons. Located in the Piazza of Santa Maria in Trastevere, it was beautifully decorated on the exterior with large hanging mirrors and a vibrant display of citrus fruits in baskets and hanging on the walls. For 7 euro I ordered a spremute and enjoyed every drop. To the left is a picture of myself at the cafe.
