The spritz is the easiest great drink in the world: something bitter or aromatic, something fizzy, ice, citrus. Ours is built on Madonna, our dry white vermouth — floral, a little citrusy, low in alcohol, and made for slow afternoons on the patio.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Madonna dry white vermouth
- 3 oz sparkling wine or Pet-Nat
- 1 oz soda water
- Ice
- Orange or lemon slice, to garnish
How to make it
- Fill a wine glass or Collins glass with ice.
- Add the Madonna vermouth, then top with sparkling wine and a splash of soda.
- One gentle stir, garnish with an orange or lemon slice, and you’re done.
Tips
Keep it low and slow — a spritz is an aperitif, not a shot, so it’s built to sip before dinner. Use plenty of ice (it keeps it cold without watering down too fast), and adjust the soda up or down for how dry you like it. Madonna is also lovely simply chilled over ice with a twist if you want to taste the vermouth on its own.
