Italian Spritz

Everything that makes an Italian aperitivo bitter is in here, and none of it is guesswork. Bitter orange, rhubarb root, cinchona, gentian root and orange blossom go in as extracts and distillates, which is roughly the botanical set a real aperitivo liqueur is built on. The result carries the sweet and bitter tension the category depends on, plus the colour. Serve it over ice with a full slice of orange. It needs no prosecco or soda on top, because the can is already the finished drink. Seven calories, sugar free, all natural, 250ml, made in Australia by an Australian owned company. Naked Life also sells this one in a 750ml share bottle for a table. Bitterness is what most zero proof spritzes soften into fruit juice. This one keeps the gentian and the cinchona.
