AMARO SPRITZ
This simple recipe takes the 3-2-1 spritz formula to heart, relying on just three quality ingredients. Amari styles vary wildly in viscosity and flavor, from intensely bitter to lightly sweet and floral, which means different bottles match different moods. To make sure you're always prepared, stock a few of the bitter liqueurs and start drinking. Current favorites include French China-China (spiced, earthy and orange-based), Sicilian Averna (sweet, citrusy), Californian Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro (juicy, floral) and Brooklyn-based Forthave Spirits Marseille Amaro (herbal, with warm spices). To these, add any hyper-regional bottles you've tucked into a suitcase. All spritz nicely, especially when paired with a lime wheel.

LAMBRUSCO SPRITZ
Think of this as a grown-up, but not too grown-up, spritz. Here, grapefruit brightens and plays up the wine's light bitterness, while buttery green olives add a touch of earthy brine and serve as a welcome snack. Reach for a lighter, sweeter, more citrus-leaning amaro, to avoid masking the bubble's nuance. For Lambrusco, seek dry or off-dry bottles, and commit to tasting a few until you find what you like. Two to start with: Lambrusco di Sorbara, which is the lightest in color and flavor, with high acidity and plenty of aromatics, and Lambrusco Grasparossa, which is dark in color and bold in flavor with dry tannins and rich berry notes.

Steps:
- Add the amaro and grapefruit juice to an ice-filled wine glass or lowball glass. Pour the Lambrusco and sparkling water over top. Stir gently, then add the grapefruit wedge. Add in the olives to taste. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right amaro: Not all amaros are created equal. Some are bitter, some are sweet, and some have a more herbal flavor. Choose an amaro that you enjoy the taste of and that will complement the other ingredients in your spritz.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your spritz will taste. Use fresh citrus fruits, herbs, and sparkling water.
- Chill your ingredients: Amaro, sparkling water, and citrus fruits should all be chilled before you make your spritz. This will help to create a refreshing and flavorful drink.
- Garnish your spritz: A garnish can add a touch of elegance and flavor to your spritz. Try garnishing with a slice of citrus fruit, a sprig of mint, or a few berries.
Conclusion:
The Amaro Spritz is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of bitter, sweet, and herbal flavors, the Amaro Spritz is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Amaro Spritz a try. You won't be disappointed!
