Fragola Spritz Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Chill glass

   Place a large wine glass or stemmed balloon glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and water while you prepare ingredients to ensure the drink stays cold.

2. 2

   Build base

   Discard the ice/water from the chilled glass if used. Add 1.5 oz Noa Italian Bitter Strawberry Shrub to the glass followed by 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice and (optional) 0.25 oz aperitif or orange bitter. These balance the shrub's sweetness and brighten the flavor.

3. 3

   Add ice

   Add 2–3 large ice cubes or one large sphere to the glass to keep dilution slow and presentation elegant.

4. 4

   Top with prosecco

   Slowly pour 4 oz chilled Noa Prosecco over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and create gentle layering with the shrub.

5. 5

   Finish and adjust

   Gently add 0.5 oz soda water to the top to give a softer finish and lighten sweetness. Stir once very gently (no more than 4 slow turns) to integrate the shrub with the prosecco while retaining effervescence.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Slip a thin strawberry slice onto the rim or float it on the surface and add a lemon twist for aromatic lift. Give the twist a quick squeeze over the glass to express oils, then drop it in.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately while the prosecco is fully effervescent. Provide a small stirrer so the guest can adjust sweetness/mixing as desired.
