Here’s a winning idea for this summer—use some of our beautiful new Tuscan Grove herbal blend to create a summer spritz. Run with Prosecco for those who want sauce in their spritz. Skipping the booze and just sticking with seltzer or 1/2 seltzer, 1/2 sparkling cider for the fizz also makes a fine spritz. Happy summer!
Tuscan Groves Spritz
Makes 1 cocktail
For the cold-brew concentrate (makes ~4 servings):
- 3 tablespoons loose Tuscan Groves herbal blend
- 1 cup cold filtered water
Combine in a jar, cover, refrigerate 8–12 hours. Strain. Concentrate keeps 4–5 days in the fridge.
For the spritz:
- 2 oz Tuscan Groves cold-brew concentrate
- 3 oz dry prosecco (or Cava, or a dry alcohol-free sparkling wine or cider)
- 1 oz soda water
- Ice
- Garnish: lemon twist, a few fresh raspberries or blackberries, and — if you’ve got them — a sprig of lemon balm, a few rose petals, or a small lavender bud
Method: Fill a large wine glass with ice. Add the tisane concentrate. Top with prosecco, then float the soda water on top. Stir once, gently — just enough to integrate. Twist the lemon peel over the glass to release the oils, drop it in, add berries and your floral garnish.
