The Night at the Spritz, a nonalcoholic cocktail created by Alison St. Pierre, a bartender at King in New York City, was inspired by the Mediterranean culture of aperitivi and digestivi and its traditional low-alcohol midday refresher: Campari & Soda. By replacing the Campari with the nonalcoholic spirit Ghia and mixing it in equal parts with sparkling water, the result is a foolproof mocktail suitable for any time of day. An orange twist and a sprig of rosemary supply extra aromatics.  

This recipe originally appeared as part of “Why Aperitivo Hour Has Taken Over America.”

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Ghia
  • 2 ounces sparkling water
  • Garnish: rosemary sprig
  • Garnish: orange twist

Steps

  1. Add the Ghia and sparkling water into a wine or rocks glass over ice and stir briefly to combine.

  2. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig and orange twist.
