This gin cocktail is the project of Tyler Lewis and Courtney Vock from East Liberty’s Blue Sky. Though they did it in a Collins glass, you could try it out in an aperol spritz glass or another specialty cocktail glass to give it a spritzier feel.
What Makes a Spritz a Spritz?
A typical spritz uses a sparkling wine and then a digestivo like Amaro, Campari, or Cynar. This is a take on it that uses bergamotto and gin, which is a little less sweet. But what gives it that refreshing finish is the fact that the bartenders topped it off with the seltzer and bitter lemon. Without that, you’ve just got a gin cocktail, which is still great. But sometimes, for a nice warm weather day, you just need that spritz.
