Glitter Spritz Bitter Orange Aperitivo

Glitter Spritz is a low strength bitter orange aperitivo from Germany, built around bitter orange and rhubarb with a herbal spice edge and a suspension of edible shimmer that catches the light in the glass. At 15% it sits in the aperitivo bracket, made to be lengthened rather than sipped neat.

The nose is fruity and fresh with bitter orange, rhubarb and a hint of herbs, the palate balanced between sweet fruitiness and a tart, bittersweet freshness. Its job behind the bar is the spritz: build it over ice with Prosecco and a splash of soda for a bittersweet, glittering serve, or use it as a low alcohol stand in for a bitter orange aperitivo in a tonic long drink. The shimmer makes it a natural for a visual house spritz.
