How to Make a Spritz<\/h2>\n
$\"recipes$
Taste of home<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The secret to a standout spritz is quality ingredients, which boils down to a great bottle of dry Prosecco<\/a> and an excellent liqueur. The two should marry a touch of bitterness with complex botanicals.<\/p>\n
Ratio-wise, it couldn\u2019t be simpler. Third-generation chef Joe Isidori of New York City\u2019s hotspot Arthur & Sons goes by a 3-2-1 rule. \u201cI go classic: 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts liqueur, 1 part soda. That\u2019s your sweet spot,\u201d he says. \u201cYou want the bubbles and booze to play nice together but never let one overpower the other.\u201d Temperature matters too. Joe recommends building your spritz over ice, gently stirring and keeping the drink cold.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk garnishes. Fresh is typically best\u2014this goes for both fruit and herbs, although dried citrus wheels make a gorgeous addition to these vibrant tipples (and a great excuse to use your dehydrator<\/a>). \u201cThey\u2019re not just for the \u2018gram,\u201d says Joe. \u201cThey all add aromatics that hit you before the first sip. A good garnish should complement the ingredients and enhance the experience.\u201d Pick up on flavors in the liqueur like we see with orange and Aperol, or go with complementary flavors \u00e0 la fresh mint leaves in a Hugo spritz.<\/p>\n
