NoLo Parisian Spritz

How to Make NoLo Parisian Spritz

1. 1

   Step 1: Chill glasses and prep garnishes

   Place four wine or large stemmed glasses in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes to chill. While they chill, cut the grapefruit into thin slices and separate rosemary sprigs so garnishes are ready to add at the end.

   Step 2: Fill glasses with ice

   Remove chilled glasses and fill each one about two-thirds full with ice cubes. A generous amount of ice keeps the spritz bright and prevents dilution while you build the drink.

   For this step

   • 4 cupsIce cubes

   Step 3: Add base flavors

   Evenly divide the non‑alcoholic aperitif between the glasses. Add elderflower cordial and a small splash of fresh pink grapefruit juice to each glass, stirring gently to combine the sweet floral and citrus notes.

   For this step

   • 6 ozNon‑alcoholic French‑style aperitif (red/amber)
   • 2 ozElderflower cordial (or non‑alcoholic elderflower syrup)
   • 2 ozFresh pink grapefruit juice

   Step 4: Top with sparkling and soda

   Slowly top each glass with the chilled non‑alcoholic sparkling wine or extra‑dry sparkling water, then add a smaller measure of club soda for a clean finish. Give each spritz one gentle stir to integrate without flattening the bubbles.

   For this step

   • 12 ozNon‑alcoholic sparkling wine or extra‑dry sparkling water (chilled)
   • 4 ozClub soda (chilled)
