Few drinks strike the balance between simplicity and sophistication quite like the spritz. With its refreshing fizz, light bitterness, and effortless elegance, it’s the ideal serve for everything from festive gatherings to quiet nights in, and being so adaptable, they’re great at any time of the year.

But what makes the perfect spritz? It all comes down to three simple components — and a touch of creativity.

The Three Components of a Spritz

 A Sparkling Base

Traditionally made with Prosecco or another sparkling wine, this adds the signature effervescence and a touch of sweetness that keeps every sip lively.

 A Bitter or Sweet Element

The middle note of your spritz — often Aperol, Campari, or a flavoured syrup — provides depth and contrast. Whether you prefer something citrusy or floral, this is where you can experiment.

 A Flavoured Mixer or Soda Top 

The final layer brings balance, tying everything together with crisp refreshment. Our Botanically Brewed drinks are perfect here — from the soft floral notes of Rose Lemonade to the bright zest of Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water.

 

Build Your Own Fentimans Spritz

Once you know the structure, creating your own spritz is simple. Just follow this basic formula:

• 75ml sparkling wine (such as Prosecco)
• 50ml spirit or syrup of your choice
• 100ml Fentimans mixer
• Ice and garnish to serve

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Rose Lemonade Spritz

Delicately floral and lightly sparkling, this one’s perfect for celebrations.

• 75ml Prosecco
• 25ml rose syrup or Aperol
• 100ml Fentimans Rose Lemonade
• Garnish with a fresh raspberry or rose petal

Pink Grapefruit Spritz

Bright, bitter, and zesty, ideal for anyone who prefers a refreshing citrus hit.

• 75ml Prosecco
• 25ml Aperol or pink grapefruit syrup
• 100ml Fentimans Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water
• Garnish with a grapefruit wedge

Rhubarb Lemonade Spritz

A modern British twist that’s tangy, crisp, and beautifully balanced.

• 75ml Prosecco
• 25ml vanilla or ginger syrup
• 100ml Fentimans Rhubarb Lemonade
• Garnish with a twist of lemon or sprig of mint

Tips for the Perfect Serve

• Always start with ice! It helps preserve the fizz.
• Pour your Prosecco last to keep the bubbles lively.
• Experiment with different flavour combinations because there are endless ways to make it your own.

A Drink for Every Season

Whether you’re toasting to autumn gatherings or gearing up for the festive season, a spritz made with Fentimans is a celebration in itself — balanced, refreshing, and unmistakably Botanically Brewed.
