Classic Italian Spritz Mocktail

EASY | APERITIF | SUMMER

The very definition of a summer-ready drink.

The Spritz is considered an Apéritif. Apéritifs are drinks which are normally served before a meal. The term is derived from the Latin verb aperire, which means to open and the intention of the drinks were to do exactly that – to “open” the appetite

The Spritz it's actually been an integral part of Italian culture since the 1950s when it became an alternative to a white-wine spritz. It's an ideal aperitivo and perfect for drinking before dinner, with enough flavour to stimulate the palate while remaining nice and light. The Spritz is a balance of flavours between sweet and bitter. 

This non-alcoholic Spritz recipe uses a traditional Italian non-alcoholic bitter – San Bitters. To add that classic bitter, sweet complexity to the Banks Herbarium.
