Crisp, refreshing, and unfussy, the spritz represents summer in a glass. It can also provide a solid foundation for bringing classic drinks into modern times. At @BellwetherBarCo, the #87 cocktail integrates sparkling wine into the framework of the Chrysanthemum, a semi-obscure classic combining dry vermouth, Bénédictine, and absinthe. The inclusion of bubbles adds the effervescent pop of a spritz. Recipe link in our bio.
