Spritz
8 recipes
This Field Manual holds 8 recipes in the spritz family. A spritz is a bitter or a liqueur lengthened with sparkling wine and a splash of soda, built over ice in a wine glass and drunk before a meal.
The usual frame is three parts prosecco, two of the bitter and one of soda, and the bitter decides the drink. Aperol keeps it light and orange. Campari makes it drier and stronger, about 2.5 UK units in our Spritz al Bitter. Elderflower, limoncello and fruit liqueurs follow the same build and come out sweeter. Pour the wine down the side and stir once, because every extra turn of the spoon is carbonation leaving the glass.
