The Sherry Spritz is an elegant, dry alternative to the sweet aperitivo spritz and relies on nutty Fino sherry instead of bitter liqueur. With Prosecco and soda it becomes a light, dry aperitif with a fine salty note.
Instructions
- Fill a large wine glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the Fino sherry over the ice.
- Top up with Prosecco.
- Add a splash of soda and stir briefly.
- Garnish with lemon zest and an olive and serve.
Garnish: Lemon zest and an olive
Pro tip: Use the sherry well chilled - at room temperature its nutty note quickly feels too heavy for a spritz.
Frequently asked questions
Which sherry works best?
A dry Fino or Manzanilla is ideal: sweet sherry varieties would make the spritz too heavy.
What does the Sherry Spritz taste like?
Dry, slightly salty and nutty with a fine liveliness from the Prosecco.
Is the Sherry Spritz very alcoholic?
No, thanks to the low-proof sherry and the soda content it remains a light aperitivo.
