Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 3 ounces prosecco chilled
  • 2 ounces Sarti Rosa chilled (see notes for alternative options)
  • 1 ounce club soda or seltzer water chilled
  • Half a slice or a wedge of grapefruit or a slice or wedge of lime for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a wine glass half full with ice. Add the prosecco, Sarti Rosa, and club soda or seltzer water. Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine.
  • Garnish with a half a slice or a wedge of grapefruit or a slice or wedge of lime. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Sarti Rosa is an aperitif liqueur infused with Sicilian blood orange, mango, and passion fruit. At the time of this post, it's not distributed within North America. If you're traveling to Europe you’ll have a better chance of finding a bottle to bring back home with you. If you’re in Rome, try Enoteca Bernabei Trastevere.
    • As an alternative, you could try using X-Rated Fusion Liqueur which has the same flavor profile (blood orange, mango, and passion fruit), a higher ABV (17% vs 14%) and features premium French vodka as its base. Although it uses French vodka, it’s owned by Gruppo Campari which is the same Italian company which makes Campari, Aperol, and yes, Sarti Rosa. At a lower price point, you could also try Kinky Pink Liqueur which is also vodka-based with the same flavor profile as above.
    • Another alternative you could try is Ramazzotti Aperitivo Rosato. It features floral-fruity flavors of hibiscus and orange blossom (not quite the same as Sarti Rosa and X-Rated Fusion Liqueur) with a 15% ABV and a bright rosé hue.
  • Make sure to chill all the ingredients before making your Sarti Spritz. This will dilute less of the ice when mixing everything together. Your drink will stay cool and refreshing, and taste better longer.
  • Be gentle when combining the ingredients. You don’t want to lose the carbonation in the prosecco and club soda/seltzer water. For the same reason, serve your drink immediately after making it to retain all those fizzy bubbles!
  • Only making one or two cocktails? Purchase small individual bottles of prosecco and cans or mini bottles of seltzer or club soda instead of larger bottles. You can easily put together a glass or two without having to open a big bottle!
  • A regular 750 ml bottle of prosecco will yield 8 to 9 spritzes while a mini 187 ml bottle will yield 2 spritzes. The larger bottle is better bang for your buck but sometimes it's worth it to have the mini ones on hand if you don't plan to make a lot.
