Hot Spritz Summer

Hot Spritz Summer is a bright, bubbly upgrade to the classic Aperol Spritz, anchoring the traditional Italian aperitif with the earthy smoke of Oaxacan agave. Built directly in an ice-filled wine glass, it carefully layers 1 oz of Mezcal Rosaluna, 1 oz of Del Professore Aperitivo, and 1 oz of fresh grapefruit juice. The cocktail is then topped off with 3 oz of crisp Prosecco and gently turned with a bar spoon—never shaken—to perfectly incorporate the flavors without losing effervescence. It is effortlessly finished with a fresh grapefruit slice for a beautiful, bittersweet summer sipper.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Mezcal Rosaluna

  • 1 oz Del Professore Aperitivo

  • 1 oz Grapefruit juice

  • 3 oz Prosecco

  • Garnish: Grapefruit slices

Instructions:

  • Spritzes are a summer must, but summer 2021 deserves a splash of something more. Add a little Mezcal to your classic Aperol Spritz for the ultimate hot girl summer drink.

  • Put some ice in a wine glass and build all ingredients. Gently turn the cocktail with a bar spoon to incorporate (don’t shake!). Garnish with a grapefruit slice and voila.
