LAMBRUSCO SPRITZ recipe
While many are familiar with the ubiquitous Aperol Spritz, cooler weather calls for a festive change of pace. Some say variety is the spice of life, and when it comes to the Lambrusco Spritz, its unique and flavorful profile proves that statement correct. The herbal notes of amaro shine through beautifully and are complemented by subtle hints of citrus and brine. The result is a deliciously balanced cocktail. One will want to use a dry Lambrusco, like the Cleto Chiarli Grasparossa di Castelvetro. Perfect for relaxing or entertaining nights, this is the must-have sip of the season. INGREDIENTS: • 1.5 ounces amaro • 0.5 ounce fresh grapefruit juice • 3-4 ounces dry Lambrusco • 1 ounce sparkling water • 1 grapefruit wedge (garnish) • 3 Castelvetrano olives (garnish) METHOD: Fill a glass with ice and pour over amaro, grapefruit juice, Lambrusco, sparkling water, and stir. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge, Castelvetrano olives, and enjoy!
