What is an alcohol-free Spritz?
A Spritz is traditionally a refreshing drink consisting of an aperitif, sparkling wine, and a splash of soda. An alcohol-free Spritz retains this simple, tangy formula but replaces all alcoholic components with non-alcoholic alternatives. Depending on the alternative, the soda may be omitted.
The classic Spritz strikes just the right balance: tart bitter notes (from the aperitif substitute), tingling acidity (from the sparkling wine substitute), and a refreshing burst of carbonation (from the soda). This creates a drink that instantly evokes a holiday mood without sacrificing complex flavor. Countless variations, flavors, and aromas now exist, constantly reinterpreting this classic.
