Sarti Spritz Cocktail
A vibrant, refreshing Italian aperitivo made with Sarti Rosa, Prosecco, and sparkling water. Bursting with notes of Sicilian blood orange, mango, and passion fruit, the Sarti Spritz is a modern alternative to the Aperol Spritz with a fruitier, slightly sweeter profile that's perfect for summer afternoons, aperitivo hour, or entertaining friends.
Equipment
- Large Wine Glass
- Jigger
- Bar spoon
- Ice Scoop
Ingredients
- 3 oz Prosecco Chilled
- 2 oz Sarti Rosa
- 1 oz Sparkling Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes Large if possible
- 1 slice Orange or Lime Garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large wine glass completely with fresh ice. Using plenty of ice keeps the cocktail crisp without diluting it too quickly.
- Pour in the Sarti Rosa.
- Slowly add the chilled Prosecco. Pour gently to preserve the bubbles.
- Top with sparkling water.
- Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon. Avoid over-stirring to maintain carbonation.
- Garnish with an orange slice and, if desired, a few fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve in a large balloon wine glass for the classic Italian presentation.
- For a slightly lighter cocktail, increase the sparkling water to 2 ounces.
- Blood orange slices make an especially beautiful garnish.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand for the best flavor.
- Excellent paired with olives, prosciutto, focaccia, potato chips, or light seafood appetizers.
