Spritz Bianco: a Spritz Veneziano with Luxardo Bitter Bianco

The Spritz Bianco is an incredibly refreshing and extremely gorgeous take on the classic Spritz Veneziano cocktail. Made using Luxardo Bitter Bianco, the result is a white spritz that looks sophisticated and tastes charming. It makes a great alternative to the ubiquitous Aperol spritz.

Equipment

  • 1 Medium-sized wine glass

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Luxardo Bitter Bianco Liqueur
  • 90 ml Prosecco or other dry Italian sparkling wine
  • 30 ml Soda water

Garnishes

  • 1 Lemon slice
  • 2 Queen olives in brine not oil
  • Fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Pour the Luxardo Bitter Bianco into an empty medium-sized wine glass.
  • Add the Prosecco.
  • Finally, pour in the soda water.
  • Now fill the glass with ice - as much as the glass can hold.
  • Garnish with a slice of lemon and (optional) olives and rosemary.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a medium-sized wine glass so there’s room for plenty of ice and garnishes.
  • Chill all ingredients and the glass (if possible). A spritz Bianco should always be ice-cold for maximum refreshment and using pre-chilled alcohol won’t lead to over-dilution of the drink.
  • Ensure you have plenty of ice to hand.
  • Prepare the garnishes before pouring the drink.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order to ensure the drink mixes well.
  • Place the ice carefully into the glass to avoid damaging the glass and causing the drink to splash over the top.
  • Don’t mix a batch of servings together in a jug. This is one drink that is best assembled and served in individual glasses as and when required.
