Valentine Spritz

Valentine Spritz

Light, playful, and effortlessly elegant, the Valentine Spritz is a cocktail made for sharing — whether you're celebrating romance, friendship, or simply a moment of indulgence. With a bittersweet base of Aperol and the sparkling citrus lift of Double Dutch Pink Grapefruit Soda, it’s a drink that’s as easy to love as it is to sip.

Why We Love the Valentine Spritz

The Valentine Spritz is everything a good spritz should be: bright, bubbly, and beautifully balanced. Aperol brings a soft bitterness and subtle orange hue, while Double Dutch Pink Grapefruit Soda lifts the whole experience with zesty citrus notes and a gentle sparkle. It’s refreshing, slightly floral, and striking in both flavour and presentation.

What makes this spritz feel extra special is its stunning garnish — a dramatic wheel of pink grapefruit paired with three juicy raspberries speared on a sprig of rosemary. It’s a little touch of theatre that transforms a simple cocktail into something you’ll want to post before you sip.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve in a large wine glass filled with ice to enhance the effervescence and presentation.
• Tuck in a big wheel of pink grapefruit and finish with a rosemary sprig speared through three raspberries — the ultimate Valentine flourish.
• Perfect as an aperitif or paired with light bites, charcuterie, or creamy cheeses.

Top Tips

• Chill your Aperol and Double Dutch Pink Grapefruit Soda beforehand for maximum refreshment.
• Gently roll the rosemary sprig between your hands before using to release its fragrant oils.
• Try swapping the Aperol for a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif if you want a lighter serve with all the flavour.

Whether you're mixing it for date night, Galentine’s, or just treating yourself, the Valentine Spritz is a feel-good, fizz-forward drink that’s made to impress — one sip, and you’ll be smitten.
