We see you, Ambrosia Spritz!
Campari Spritz
If you typically find Aperol Spritzes to be too sweet, try a Campari Spritz.
The result is a more intense drink that will give you a pleasant buzz.

For a version of this cocktail that’s slightly less intense, try a Campari Soda with Orange.
Limoncello Spritz
This spritz is a variation of the southern Italian classic, limoncello.
Since it’s made with wine, there’s no need for prosecco in this drink.
Greg DuPree
For spritz purposes, you’ll want to use the rose or blanc varieties.
If you don’t have carbonated water, use tonic water instead.
And feel free to get creative with garnishes too.
Greg DuPree
Refreshing options such as cucumber, mint, and strawberry slices all work well.
It’s bright and fruity with a floral, slightly sweet taste that your guests will love.
Garnish it with a fresh strawberry slice and float off on the bubbles!

Garnish with a lemon or orange wheel.
Dirty Aperol Spritz
Fans of dirty martinis, we’ve got a new drink for you!
It might sound odd, but the brininess of the olives balances the fruitiness of the Aperol exquisitely.
Greg DuPree
Garnish with a green olive.
Believe it or not, the brininess of the garnish pairs beautifully with Select’s bitter and floral notes.
An orange slice or a cherry makes the perfect garnish for this sweet and punchy cocktail.
Greg DuPree
While still sweet, it’s not quite as sweet as Aperol.
A little orange juice adds a delicious zing of flavor.
Add a little maple syrup for a sweeter version of the spritz.
Greg DuPree
The aperitif used here is Ambrosia, which is aptly named the nectar of the gods.
In addition to prosecco, Ambrosia pairs well with mezcal.
Garnish with an orange wheel.
Greg DuPree
It’s made with equal parts sweet vermouth, dry sparkling red wine, and club soda.
Garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary, and enjoy!
Mango Bellini Spritz
Say hello to your new favorite brunch beverage.
Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Rishon Hanners, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless
This tropical twist on the classic Bellini incorporates mango for fizzy and fruity summertime spritz.
A spalsh of orange liqueur adds another level of flavor.
Garnish with mango slices.
Greg DuPree
Start by making a ginger simple syrup, then combining it with grapefruit juice.
Grapefruit slices and thyme springs garnish the punch bowl, creating a stunning centerpiece to your occasion.
