Amante Spritz Recipe

Prepare glass

Fill a large wine glass or highball with ice (about 1 cup). Chilling the glass briefly in the freezer for 5–10 minutes ahead of time is optional.

Mix base

In a cocktail shaker or stirring glass filled with a few ice cubes, combine 2 oz Amante aperitivo, 1 oz passion fruit purée or juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup.

Shake or stir

If using passion fruit purée (thicker), shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds to integrate and chill. If using strained juice, you can gently stir for 10–12 seconds.

Strain into glass

Double-strain (if shaken) or fine-strain (if stirred) the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice to remove large pulp or seeds, leaving about 1–1.5 inches of headroom.

Top with ginger ale

Slowly pour 3 oz chilled ginger ale down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and create a layered look. Gently give one or two short stirs with a bar spoon to integrate without flattening the soda.

Garnish and finish

Float 1/2 tsp passion fruit seeds on top (if using) and perch a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and place as garnish. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.

Prepare batch base

In a pitcher or mixing vessel, combine 12 oz Amante aperitivo, 6 oz passion fruit purée or juice, 3 oz fresh lime juice and 1.5 oz simple syrup. Stir vigorously until fully integrated. If using a thicker purée, whisk or use an immersion blender briefly to homogenize.

Chill

Cover and chill the base mixture for at least 15 minutes or keep it on ice until ready to serve.

Serve

Fill six glasses with ice. Divide the chilled base evenly among the glasses (about 3 oz base per glass). Top each with 3 oz chilled ginger ale, pouring slowly to keep carbonation.

Garnish and present

Add a small spoonful of passion fruit seeds to each glass if desired, add a lime wheel or wedge and optionally a mint sprig. Serve immediately.
