Sarti Rosa Spritz

If there’s one thing Europe does exceptionally well in the summer, it’s a spritz. From the classic Aperol Spritz to new variations that seem to pop up every year, spritz season is something I can fully get behind. And this year, the Sarti Rosa Spritz is having its moment.

With its vibrant pink color and refreshing combination of rosé Prosecco, Sarti Rosa, and club soda, this is the kind of drink that immediately feels like summer. It’s bubbly, lightly bitter, citrusy, and refreshing without being overly sweet. Served over ice with a colorful garnish, it’s a beautiful addition to a brunch, happy hour, or summer gathering.

The 3-2-1 Spritz Ratio

The beauty of a spritz is that you don’t need a complicated recipe to make one. This Sarti Rosa Spritz follows a simple 3-2-1 ratio: three parts Prosecco, two parts Sarti Rosa, and one part club soda.

Of course, cocktail ratios are a starting point, not a rule. If you prefer a lighter drink, add more club soda. If you want a stronger Sarti Rosa flavor, adjust the proportions to your liking. The best spritz is the one you enjoy drinking.

Ingredients: Sarti Rosa Spritz

• Rosé Prosecco (3 ounces): Provides the bubbly base for the spritz while adding a beautiful pink hue. Make sure it’s well chilled before mixing.
• Sarti Rosa (2 ounces): This vibrant Italian aperitivo brings a bright pink color and a combination of fruity, citrusy, and lightly bitter flavors to the cocktail.
• Club soda (1 ounce): Adds a final splash of bubbles and lightens the drink, making it extra refreshing.
• Ice: Fill the glass generously with ice to keep the spritz cold without quickly watering it down.
• Garnish: A lime wedge, grapefruit slice, or fresh berries can add a colorful finishing touch.

How To Make a Sarti Rosa Spritz

1. Fill a large wine glass or spritz glass generously with ice.
2. Pour in the rosé Prosecco, followed by the Sarti Rosa.
3. Top with the club soda.
4. Give the drink a gentle stir to combine, being careful not to lose too much of the carbonation.
5. Garnish with a slice of lime, or a sprig of mint and serve immediately.

Why This is the Perfect Summer Spritz

Sarti Rosa is an Italian aperitivo known for its vibrant pink color and refreshing citrus and fruit-forward flavor. Like other aperitivo-style drinks, it is designed to be enjoyed before a meal and works beautifully in a spritz because the bubbles and club soda balance its bold flavor.

There’s something about a spritz that immediately feels like summer. It’s light, bubbly, colorful, and meant to be enjoyed slowly over ice. The Sarti Rosa Spritz brings all of those qualities together with a vibrant pink color and a slightly different flavor profile than the classic spritzes you may already know. Serve it for brunch, happy hour, a summer gathering, or simply when you want to bring a little European summer energy to your own backyard.

A Few Helpful Tips

• Chill everything first. Starting with cold Prosecco, Sarti Rosa, and club soda means less melting ice and a more refreshing drink.
• Use plenty of ice. A large wine glass filled with ice helps keep the spritz cold without diluting it too quickly.
• Don’t over-stir. A gentle stir is all you need to combine the ingredients while preserving the bubbles.
• Make it your own. The 3-2-1 ratio is a great starting point, but adjust the proportions to suit your taste.

Note: Sarti Rosa is an alcoholic aperitivo, so always enjoy this cocktail responsibly.

What To Serve with the Rosa Sarti Spritz

The bright, fruity, and citrusy flavors of a Sarti Rosa Spritz make it an easy cocktail to pair with a variety of foods. Since spritzes are often enjoyed as an aperitivo in Italy, I like serving this drink with lighter snacks and small bites rather than anything too heavy. Think salty, savory, and fresh foods that complement the sweetness and citrus notes in the drink.

A simple antipasto platter with olives, cheese, cured meats, and marinated vegetables would be a natural pairing. The saltiness of the snacks works beautifully with the refreshing bubbles in the spritz. For a lighter option, serve it with bruschetta, crostini, fresh fruit, or a simple summer salad.

This Sarti Rosa Spritz would also be right at home at brunch, paired with dishes like a frittata, quiche, fresh fruit, or a spread of pastries. And if you’re serving it at a summer gathering, don’t overthink the food—some good cheese, crackers, fresh fruit, and a few salty snacks are all you need to create an easy, relaxed spread.
