Sicilian Spritz

Sicilian Spritz

2 min

Coffee doesn't usually get invited to aperitivo hour. This one earns its seat. Blood orange and Prosecco keep things bright and fizzy, Amaro Montenegro brings the gentle bitter backbone every good spritz needs, and Atomic Black hums underneath with just enough roast to make you look twice at the glass. The coffee depth is what sets it apart. Without it, this is just another glass of summer bubbles.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz blood orange juice
  • 1 oz Amaro Montenegro
  • 1 oz Atomic Black
  • 2 oz Prosecco
  • soda water to top

Instructions

  1. Fill a large wine glass with ice. The more ice, the slower the melt and the longer the drink stays lively.
  2. Pour in the blood orange juice, Amaro Montenegro, and Atomic Black. Stir once to combine.
  3. Top with Prosecco, then a splash of soda water. Pour gently down the side of the glass to keep the bubbles alive.
  4. Express an orange peel over the top, then drop it in.
