French Spritz

This apéritif-style cocktail perfectly fits its name. That said, fans of Italian fizz will be interested to learn how well this spritz works when made...

Would Cava make it a Spanish Spritz?

A logical name if Spanish rather than French liqueurs also used.

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable. I love Suze so I enjoyed it as written but have tried with Tuscan Bitter (very “botanical”), Capellini Bitter and Bigallet China-China (lovely rosy gold and blends perfectly with the elderflower and champagne). Can’t wait to try with the rest of my amaros.

Not a big fan of Suze, so I upped the elderflower liqueur a lot (2x-3x), and I found it quite drinkable.

Is the garnish supposed to be a thyme sprig or a rosemary sprig? It definitely looks like a rosemary sprig in the photo.

Well spotted. The original recipe specifies thyme but I prefer rosemary. I have now added rosemary in brackets in the garnish specified above. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
