King’s Spritz
Bold, bright, and royally refreshing, the King’s Spritz is a striking twist on the classic aperitivo. Swapping prosecco for the vibrant fizz of Double Dutch Double Orange, this two-ingredient spritz is all about bold citrus, low effort, and high impact. Whether you’re raising a toast at sunset or simply upgrading your brunch game, this one’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Why We Love the King’s Spritz
The King’s Spritz takes everything we love about a classic spritz — the bitter-sweet balance of Aperol and the refreshing effervescence — and dials it up with a double dose of orange. Double Dutch Double Orange enhances the base with vibrant citrus oils and a soft, sparkling finish, eliminating the need for sparkling wine and making this serve as easy as it is impressive.
Served in a large wine glass over plenty of ice and garnished with a juicy orange wedge, it’s golden-hour-ready with zero fuss and all the flavour. It’s the kind of drink that doesn’t need explaining — one sip, and you’re sold.
Serving Suggestions
- Use a wine glass filled with ice for that classic spritz silhouette and refreshingly cold pour.
- Garnish with a fresh orange wedge or twist to amp up the citrus notes.
- Serve as a pre-dinner drink or alongside antipasti, salads, or Mediterranean-style sharing plates.
Top Tips
- Chill both the Aperol and Double Dutch Double Orange ahead of time — no one likes a lukewarm spritz.
- Use a long bar spoon to stir gently and keep the bubbles alive.
- Want to make it a royal mocktail? Use a non-alcoholic aperitif in place of Aperol — the flavour still shines.
Simple, sparkling, and full of citrus flair, the King’s Spritz proves you don’t need a crown to sip like royalty. It’s a modern classic — fit for summer evenings, stylish gatherings, or whenever you feel like drinking something that looks (and tastes) like pure sunshine.
