3.79 / 5
The New World Spritz is a refreshing and herbaceous cocktail that captures the essence of a classic spritz with a botanical twist. A lively combination of crisp vodka and sparkling soda water forms the base, creating a clean and effervescent canvas. The addition of fresh lime brings a zesty citrus note that brightens the palate, while the sugar syrup adds a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness. Basil leaves infuse the drink with aromatic layers of flavor, contributing a subtle peppery touch that complements the overall profile. Typically served in a lowball glass, the New World Spritz is a modern take on a spritz, inviting a new wave of cocktail enthusiasts to enjoy its unique and invigorating taste.
