ITALICUS SPRITZ
Fletcher & Fork’s Italicus Spritz. Hand embroidered cocktail napkins and scalloped marble tray available in the shop.
Transport Mom to the Amalfi Coast this Mother’s Day with an Italicus Spritz. It stars Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto—a fresh, lightly floral, and delicately bitter Italian citrus liqueur made from Bergamot oranges. This sparkling cocktail is irresistibly bright, with a touch of gin echoing the Bergamot’s herbal qualities, and freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice adding a sweetness and complexity not present in traditional lemons. If Meyer lemons are not available, a 50/50 mix of traditional lemon juice and tangerine juice may be substituted. Italicus is available at Binny’s Beverage Depot.
