Acinum Prosecco, with its fruity bouquet of green apple and pink grapefruit, provides the perfect sparkling base for this refreshing and slightly bitter cocktail. Its crisp, elegant finish elevates the Torino Spritz, making it a delightful aperitif or celebratory drink that punches well above its price point. |
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. Acinum Prosecco
- 1 oz. Sibona Torino Vermouth
- ½ oz. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1-2 Luxardo Cherries (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a wine glass or rocks glass generously with ice.
- Add the Vermouth and Lemon Juice: Pour in the Sibona Torino Vermouth and lemon juice, giving it a gentle stir to combine.
- Top with Prosecco: Slowly pour in the Acinum Prosecco to maintain its effervescence.
- Garnish: Add one or two Luxardo cherries to the glass for a pop of color and a touch of sweetness. For extra flair, skewer the cherries on a cocktail pick.
Tips for the Perfect Spritz:
- Glassware: A stemmed wine glass showcases the bubbles beautifully, but a tumbler works just as well for a more casual presentation.
- Prosecco First: If you’d like to preserve more of the Prosecco’s bubbles, pour it in before adding the other ingredients.
- Optional Enhancements: Add a twist of lemon peel or a sprig of fresh thyme for an aromatic garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a pre-dinner aperitif, or pair it with light bites like marinated olives, charcuterie, or a fresh green salad. Cheers!
