The spritz has long been a staple in cocktail culture, typically conjuring images of hot summer days and refreshing, bubbly aperitifs. As we know it now, the spritz is a light, effervescent drink made with sparkling wine, soda water, and a bitter liqueur; a perfect opener before dinner. Go back to the 1800s though, and it was just white wine with a splash (a "spritz", from the German "spritzen") of soda to freshen it up, as the Austrian troops based in Northern Italy at the time liked their wine lighter (reimagined in the 1970s and 80s in the white wine spritzer). The spritz has moderation in its history!
🌿 At Everleaf, we take the beloved spritz and give it a twist — one rooted in nature, inspired by diverse environments and designed to transport you to drinking outside in the sun, whether by the sea, mountains or forests. Our non-alcoholic spritz doesn’t have to be the same every time (although it can be if you want); it’s an experience that evolves with every combination. Pick your Everleaf, pick your bubbles, and reinvent the spritz in a way that suits you. Here’s how we do it with Everleaf Forest, Mountain, and Marine:
Everleaf Forest: Complex & Bittersweet
A non-alcoholic Everleaf Forest Spritz is like wandering through vibrant and lush woodland 🌳. With blossom in the canopy and the earthy forest floor at your feet, this bittersweet aperitif is perfect for those who love complexity in their drinks. Everleaf Forest becomes a versatile canvas when paired with bubbles — whether it’s tonic water, soda, or ginger ale. You can elevate the experience with garnishes like orange zest, cinnamon, or even a sprig of mint - we suggest looking to the seasons and using something local and fresh.
Everleaf Mountain: Floral & Aromatic
A non-alcoholic Everleaf Mountain Spritz takes you high into the fresh, airy atmosphere of the mountains, where every breath feels clean and invigorating. Infused with bright botanicals including 🌸 cherry blossom, rosehip, and strawberry, Everleaf Mountain brings a fragrant, floral twist to the traditional spritz. Pair with light tonic, a pink grapefruit soda or perhaps even a refreshing sparkling tea, Everleaf Mountain delivers a fresh, aromatic experience with the bitterness of a classic spritz.
When pairing your flavours with Everleaf Mountain take inspiration from the natural world and add a squeeze of citrus or a handful of berries to climb even higher. ⛰️
Everleaf Marine: Crisp & Refreshing
A non-alcoholic Everleaf Marine Spritz transports you to the edge of the ocean, where sea kelp, coastal herbs, and zesty bergamot come together for a bracing, invigorating flavour. This is Everleaf’s take on a coastal spritz, perfect for those who crave the crispness of sea air and the umami you can taste from exploring the water itself. When combined with soda or light tonic, Everleaf Marine becomes an ultra-refreshing, slightly saline drink that’s unlike any other. 🌊
Imagine a sea breeze sweeping across a rocky coastline, with the scent of saltwater, olive groves and bergamot in the air, and the gentle warmth of the sun on your skin. For a personal touch, add a slice of cucumber, fresh mint or even thyme and rosemary to amplify the taste inspired by the natural world.
An Everleaf Spritz, made just for you!
