Caprese in a glass – a simple party recipe

There are dishes that taste like summer. For me, caprese is exactly that. Ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, fresh basil – that’s all it takes. I remember our family vacations in Italy. Thickly sliced ​​tomatoes, still warm from the sun, creamy mozzarella, a generous splash of olive oil and aromatic basil. It’s not “just” an appetizer. This is exactly the feeling I wanted to capture – but rethought. Not as a dish, but as a caprese in a glass. Why in a glass? Because it is practical and because it immediately looks like “wow” at every party, even though it remains wonderfully uncomplicated. Most of the time you have little time and want a great result.
