Fizzy Summer Spritz

This summer spritz recipe comes from Spirits & Tales, a rooftop brasserie and bar in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood. The Fizzy Summer Spritz brings to mind both the la dolce vita romantic energy of Italy and a carefree, tropical lifestyle with the addition of pineapple juice. Amnelis Cruz, mixologist at Spirits & Tales, generously shared her recipe with us for you to make at home.

Fizzy Summer Spritz Making Tips

Make sure you use enough ice and the correct proportions of liquors for your spritz. The proportions are what give a spritz its character. This recipe uses a 2:1 ratio of pineapple juice to Aperol, but if you are looking for a stronger, boozier taste, you can change up that ratio for your own spin. You can also add more triple sec or peach liqueur to experiment with the flavor profile you like best.
