Recipe: Non-alcoholic Citrus Spritz step by step

A well-made non-alcoholic spritz owes nothing, in terms of pleasure, to the alcoholic version. The key is the balance between bitter, citrus and the right effervescence.

Ingredients (1 glass)

• 90 ml of non-alcoholic aperitif 0% bitter-citrus flavour
• 60 ml of tonic water or soda
• A slice of orange
• Abundant ice

Procedure

Fill a wine glass with plenty of ice. Pour the non-alcoholic aperitif, complete with tonic water, mixing delicately with a bar spoon from bottom to top, so as not to disperse the bubbles. Garnish with the orange slice and serve immediately.

Additional advice

For a fresher note, add two or three lightly crushed mint leaves before pouring in the ice: they will release the aroma without being intrusive.
