Ingredients
- 60.0 ml dry vermouth (well chilled)
- 90.0 ml sparkling wine (brut style, well chilled)
- 30.0 ml soda water (well chilled)
- 1.0 orange peel (wide strip, for garnish and aroma)
- 1.0 ice (enough to fill a large wine glass)
Instructions
- Fill a large wine glass fully with ice and let it stand for 30 seconds at room temperature so the glass chills and the outside begins to mist slightly.
- Pour in the dry vermouth over the ice, then add the sparkling wine gently over 10 seconds on a low pour so the bubbles stay lively and the drink remains crisp.
- Top with the soda water and stir very gently for 5 seconds just until combined, stopping as soon as the drink looks evenly mixed and still highly fizzy.
- Express the orange peel over the glass by twisting it firmly for 2 seconds so the citrus oils release and you can smell a fresh, zesty aroma.
- Rub the peel around the rim, then drop it into the drink and serve immediately while the spritz is very cold, bright, and lightly bitter.
- Taste before serving and, if needed, add a tiny extra splash of soda water to keep the finish drier and more refreshing rather than sweet.
