Puttin’ on the spritz
What’s the perfect way to start your meal? With bubbles and vodka, of course.
A spritz is a bubbly, wine-based aperitif cocktail from Northern Italy that’s commonly enjoyed before a meal. The team at Tito’s Handmade Vodka took the classic cocktail to their test kitchen and crafted three recipes that are so light and fizzy, they’ll add a little pep in your step. Whether you’re front porch sittin’, in the company of your closest confidants, or just really excited to start dinner early, mix up a Tito’s Spritz and start your night off right.
