Aviator Spritz

Aviator Spritz

Inspired by Aviator

 

Austin Hartman’s crema de mezcal-based take on the Spritz draws inspiration from Hartman’s grandfather, a cliff-diver in Acapulco—the essence of danger and finesse distilled into an at-once delicate and bracing drink. Perfect for a spring afternoon.

Ingredients:

  • 30ml of Crema De Mezcal
  • 25ml Aperol
  • 15ml fresh Grapefruit 
  • 120ml Sparkling Wine
  • Shaving of Orange zest
  • Mint 
    1. Express grapefruit twist and place at the bottom of an empty wine glass
    2. Add five ice cubes
    3. Combine mezcal, Aperol and grapefruit juice in a tin and shake 
    4. Double-strain into wine glass over ice
    5. Top with sparkling wine
    6. Garnish with Mint
