Recipe

Bitter Orange Spritz

Aperol Spritz Wine glass Easy

A bright spritz that stays bitter and cold instead of drifting into soda territory.

Ingredients

Use the bottle style, not only the brand name, when you substitute.

  • 2 oz bitter orange aperitif alternative
  • 3 oz alcohol-free sparkling wine
  • 1 oz soda water
  • Orange slice

Method

Small technique choices matter more when there is no alcohol carrying the drink.

1 Build over ice in a wine glass
2 Stir once gently
3 Keep the ratio bitter enough to avoid a sweet finish.

Finish: Orange slice

Pick the bottle that protects the drink: sweetness, body, bite, and finish all matter here.
