The increasing market demand for 'ready to drink' cocktails has prompted Bottega to create a premix version of its Lemon Spritz.
This new product, characterised by its low alcohol content, is a ready-to-serve cocktail based on sparkling wine, Bottega Limoncino and mint leaves. It is available in 20 cl bottle and 25 cl can.
The Spritz is an aperitif that originated in the Northeast, where it has its roots for more than a hundred years, in cities such as Venice, Padua, Trieste and Treviso. It is believed to have originated during the period of Habsburg rule (its name seems to derive from the German verb 'spritzen', meaning 'to sprinkle'). Originally it was white wine diluted with water. It was later enriched by Seltz, which made it sparkling, and by the use of bitter, which stained it red, increasing its alcohol content.
In the last ten years, the Spritz has also become a symbol of Made in Italy abroad. Among the most popular variants is the Lemon Spritz, created by Bottega, which replaces the bitter with Limoncino, resulting in a fresh drink with an enveloping, Mediterranean flavour.
Lemon Spritz Premix is therefore a ready-to-serve cocktail, ideal for those who want to optimise time, combining quality and practicality.
