Ingredients

  • 3 ozProsecco
    Well chilled
    Substitute: Any dry sparkling wine
  • 1 ozSoda Water
    A splash to lift
  • 2 ozRabarbaro Zucca
    Smoky rhubarb amaro
    Substitute: Sfumato Rabarbaro

Instructions

  1. Fill a wine glass with ice
  2. Add 2 oz rabarbaro amaro, then 3 oz prosecco
  3. Add a splash of soda and garnish with a grapefruit half-wheel

Technique Notes

Wine before soda, always. Soda first makes the wine foam over the rim and the carbonation it was added for is lost.

Why the Rabarbaro Spritz Works

Prosecco's effervescence lifts the rhubarb smoke and grapefruit echoes the gentle bitterness; build it in this order so the soda settles the foam rather than raising it.
