Spritz your way into summer bliss with this beautifully simple cocktail! With only 4 ingredients, it’s as easy to whip up as it is delicious.

Let’s talk about the Spritz for a moment. Growing up in Milan, I’ve had my fair share of spritzes. They’re gloriously refreshing, perfectly bubbly and an essential part of living la dolce vita. Perfect during social hour to wet the appetite and prepare you for a great meal ahead. The thing is, there are tons of variations nowadays, and sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming.

This Sunset Spritz was born out of our love for the classic spritz formula, but with a twist (or two.) We wanted something that highlighted the magic of lambrusco rosato, an underutilized but very irresistible, sparkling reddish-pink tinted fresh, fizzy, and fun red wine. That was a lot of adjectives, I know, but they’re all just so true.

Here’s the deal: everyone deserves a spritz they can rely on. One where you know the proportions by heart and the ingredients are always easy to find. This Sunset Spritz is exactly that, and let me tell you, it’s become a summer staple for both Becca and I.

Now, the magic lies in the balance. We’ve got Cocchi Americano, with its subtle gentian bitterness, while grapefruit adds a burst of citrusy tartness that perfectly complements the lambrusco. Together, they make the whole drink sing (it’s also just so pretty to look at!)

This recipe is for two, but it will also scale well into a pitcher for your summer soirées. Because really, what’s better than sharing a gorgeous, simple drink that embodies the whole spritz philosophy– beautiful and easy.

So grab your favorite glasses, gather your ingredients, and let’s spritz our way into summer bliss! One sip and you’ll be transported straight to a vibrant Italian sunset. Now that’s a feeling we can all get behind.
