Part of our Late Spring Aperitivo collection: three mid-afternoon aperitivo serves for the warmer days ahead.
ASTERLEY ORIGINAL with fresh lemon and bitter lemon tonic: sharper and drier than a standard spritz, built for those who like an edge.
Made with ASTERLEY ORIGINAL British Aperitivo.
Ingredients
- 45 ml ASTERLEY ORIGINAL Aperitivo
- 15 ml fresh lemon juice
- 120 ml bitter lemon tonic
- Lemon wedge + rosemary sprig (garnish)
Method
Step 1: Build in the glass
Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in ASTERLEY ORIGINAL and fresh lemon juice.
Step 2: Top with tonic
Pour bitter lemon tonic slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the carbonation. Give one gentle stir.
Step 3: Garnish and serve
Add a lemon wedge and a small rosemary sprig. The herb lifts the nose without dominating the drink.
Tasting Notes
Sharper and more citrus-forward than the classic Asterley Spritz. The bitter lemon tonic adds quinine depth while the rosemary gives an aromatic top note.
