Notes

Chill everything. Cold sharpens the floral notes in Lillet Rosé and keeps the spritz bright.
Use a dry sparkling wine. Prosecco is softer, cava is crisper, champagne adds a cleaner edge.
Don’t over-stir. A gentle turn keeps the bubbles alive.
Fresh grapefruit is worth it for the peel oils and sharper aromatics.
Build the spritz over ice, never in a pitcher. The bubbles rising through the ice are part of the experience.
Adjust sweetness by adding more soda water if your sparkling wine is on the sweeter side.
Clear, slow-melting ice keeps the drink cold without watering it down.
