I’m heading into this weekend with very few requirements: something fun, something cold to drink, and preferably some time spent outside. Bonus points if there’s ice cream involved.

Aperitivo a la Mode at Riverpark checks all those boxes with housemade ice cream, boozy floaters, spritzes, lawn games, and skyline views. Enter to win two cocktails and make this Tuesday feel a little less like Tuesday.
