The Golden Hour Spritz
This is about effortless elegance. When you’re losing the light and the air starts to cool, you want a drink that feels just as soft. By using Myrlèmon, we’ve removed the harsh citric acid that usually dominates a spritz. This allows the delicate, floral notes of the Prosecco to come forward, while the grapefruit adds a dry, sophisticated finish that keeps everything in balance.
Ingredients
| 60ml |
Premium Prosecco |
| 30ml | Myrlèmon |
| A splash | Grapefruit Soda (or soda water with 2 dashes of grapefruit bitters) |
Garnish
-
A slice of pink grapefruit or a sprig of lemon thyme.
The Serve
-
The Glass: Use a large wine glass. Fill it with plenty of solid, clear ice—you want the glass to feel heavy and cold.
-
The Build: Pour in the Myrlèmon, followed by the Prosecco.
-
The Lift: Top with a splash of grapefruit soda. Use a long spoon to give it one gentle vertical lift to bring the spirit up through the wine without losing the bubbles.
-
The Garnish: Tuck a slice of fresh pink grapefruit into the ice. If you’re using lemon thyme, give it a quick tap against the glass to wake up the aromatics before placing it on top.
The Experience
-
The Visual: The drink has a beautiful, pale blush from the grapefruit. It’s bright, clear, and looks exactly like the time of day it’s named after.
-
The Scent: It’s a mix of fresh citrus peel and garden herbs. The lemon thyme and grapefruit work together to create an aroma that feels fresh but grounded.
-
The Taste: It’s incredibly smooth. You get the initial sparkle of the Prosecco and the botanical lift of the myrtle, followed by a clean, slightly bitter grapefruit finish that dries out the palate perfectly.
Soft, floral, and perfectly balanced.
