Inspired by the world' s embrace of Italy' s ever-popular bubbly and refreshing Aperol spritz, Just a Spritz is an expansive collection of 50 easy, low- or no-alcohol fizzy, flavourful cocktails perfect for imbibing any time of year. Step aside, rose. A more refreshing drink is here, in a bubbling array of colours and flavours. The iconic Italian export, the Aperol spritz, with its classic (and simple) makeup of fizzy prosecco, sparkling water, and a splash of the bittersweet, citrus-flavoured liqueur, is just the beginning. In Just a Spritz, author Danielle Centoni shares an inspired world of spritz variations. Add in sweet liqueurs and bitter amari, fresh juices, flavoured kombuchas, and drinking vinegars to update the sparkling spritz. A spritz is quick to assemble and does not require a stocked pantry - its beauty is in its simplicity. Here there are more than 50 recipes (and numerous variations) organised by flavour profile and theme, including the Raspberry Beret, the Margarita Spritz, and the Cucumberbatch, as well as nonalcoholic spritz drinks. For a spritz newbie, a classic Negroni Sbagliato may be just the thing, whereas the social media savant may find the fruity-floral, scarlet-purple, picture-perfect Lady Lavender calling their name. Whatever the craving - from a sweet peach and honeyed spritz to a slightly bitter and citrusy Cappelletti Shandy - there' s a recipe to satisfy every thirst, along with colourful photos to inspire.

" -Nick Mautone, author of Summer Cocktails "' The most refreshing, laid-back, intrinsically forgiving, and nearly effortless low-alcohol drink in the cocktail kingdom' gets an exuberant celebration in this collection from James Beard Award-winning food writer Centoni (Portland Cooks). A pre-dinner aperitivo that' s transcended Italian borders, spritzes, Centoni writes, offer a refreshingly fizzy lift free of ' regrets the next morning' and a ' liquor store' s worth of bottles. ' Following a fascinating jaunt through the history of the bubbly beverage (which was created in the 1800s by Austrian soldiers stationed in Italy to stomach the local wine), she shows readers how to ' attain spritz perfection' via bubbly prose and a mouthwatering array of sparkling no- or low-alcohol concotions, grouped by flavor profile (fruity, flowery, bitter). While innovative creations abound-the lavender-peach infused ' Sun Day' is not to be missed-classics get their due in a ' spritzified' negroni that swaps out gin for prosecco and a white wine spritz that modernizes the throwback 1980s sipper by going heavy on the aromatics. To get in a different spirit, tempting holiday drinks include a caramel apple spritz, and a ' wintry sipper' gussied up with fig jam. Throughout, Centoni treats readers to a number of handy tips for elevating their offerings with a tasty array of garnishes, syrups, and shrubs. The result deliciously proves that a little goes a long way. " -Publishers Weekly
