Spritz Assembly
Garnish
Method
Prepare Glass
- 1
Select a large wine glass or a rocks glass. Fill the glass generously with ice to chill the glass and keep the drink cold.
Build the Spritz
- 2
Add Cynar
Pour 2 oz Cynar over the ice. Cynar is a bittersweet artichoke-based Italian liqueur; pouring it first helps it settle among the ice.
- 3
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine) into the glass. Pouring gently preserves bubbles and integrates the Cynar without aggressive stirring.
- 4
Top with Soda
Add 1 oz club soda to give the spritz its refreshing effervescence. Adjust up to 1.5 oz if you prefer a lighter, bubblier drink.
- 5
Gently Stir
Using a bar spoon or a gentle swirl, stir once or twice to marry the ingredients. Do not over-stir; you want to keep carbonation.
Garnish & Finish
- 6
Express an orange peel (twist it over the drink to release oils) and drop an orange wheel or twist into the glass. Optionally, slap a rosemary sprig between your palms to release aromatics and tuck it alongside the orange for an herbal note.
- 7
Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
