New Year Spritz: Sparkle Into the New Year
There’s no better way to ring in the new year than with a glass of something bubbly — and the New Year Spritz is exactly what you need to get the party started. Light, effervescent and bursting with bright, citrusy flavour, this cocktail is made for toasting, celebrating, and dancing well past midnight.
Spritz With a Twist
Unlike a traditional spritz, the New Year Spritz brings a little more flair. We combine crisp white wine or a low-ABV aperitif with juicy orange, a splash of something botanical, and a sparkling mixer to keep things fresh and zesty. It’s the ultimate upgrade from your standard prosecco pour — full of personality and fizz.
When to Serve
This cocktail is made for celebration. Whether it’s New Year’s Eve, a birthday, or any milestone worth marking, the New Year Spritz fits right in. It’s also great earlier in the day — a lower alcohol content makes it perfect for brunch or early evening toasts before the main event kicks off.
Double Dutch Mixer Match
We love pairing this one with Double Dutch Ginger Ale to highlight the warming notes of citrus and spice, or opt for Pomegranate & Basil for a deeper, festive edge. Both options complement the base beautifully while adding complexity.
Top Tips for a Standout Spritz
- Chill everything: From your glass to your wine, temperature is key.
- Build over ice: This keeps your bubbles alive and your flavours balanced.
- Finish with fruit: A slice of blood orange or a twist of grapefruit peel adds visual flair and extra zest.
Why We Love It
The New Year Spritz is easy to drink, elegant to serve, and endlessly customisable. It’s the kind of cocktail that looks just as good as it tastes and always brings a smile. Whether you’re clinking glasses at midnight or sipping in the afternoon sun, this spritz brings the sparkle to every celebration.
So go ahead — raise your glass and make a toast to the year ahead. Cheers to fresh starts, fizz, and flavour!
