Cocktail Base

3 oz Lyre's Italian Spritz (non‑alcoholic aperitivo)2 oz Club soda or sparkling water (chilled)2 oz Prosecco (optional — use non‑alcoholic sparkling wine if keeping 0% ABV)

Citrus & Sweetener

1/2 oz Fresh orange juice1/4 tsp Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) or agave syrup

Garnish

1 slice Orange slice or wheel1 each Green olive or rosemary sprig (optional)6 cubes Ice (large cubes or a few medium cubes)

Method

Prep

Chill glass and ingredients

Place a wine glass or large rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water to chill briefly. Ensure Lyre's Italian Spritz, prosecco/sparkling wine, and club soda are well chilled.

If using simple syrup and you don't have it prepared, make a quick batch by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water and cooling before use. Measure orange juice from a fresh orange.

Build the Spritz

Add ice

Discard any ice water from the chilled glass and fill the glass with 4–6 large ice cubes, leaving room for ingredients and bubbles.

Pour Lyre's and orange juice

Add 3 oz Lyre's Italian Spritz and 1/2 oz fresh orange juice directly over the ice. The Italian Spritz spirit substitute provides the bitter‑herbal backbone and orange adds fresh brightness.

Add sweetener

Add 1/4 teaspoon simple syrup or agave to taste. Stir gently once to incorporate; the spritz should be lightly sweetened but still bittersweet and refreshing.

Top with bubbles

Pour 2 oz chilled prosecco or non‑alcoholic sparkling wine into the glass, then top with 2 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water. Pour slowly to preserve carbonation. Do not vigorously stir after adding sparkling components—just a gentle lift and drop of the bar spoon if needed to combine.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish the drink with one fresh orange wheel or slice slipped onto the rim or floated on top. Optionally add a single green olive on a pick for a savory counterpoint or a small sprig of rosemary for aromatic lift.

Serve immediately while effervescent. Suggest serving with a straw or without so the aroma of the orange and botanicals is experienced directly.
