The Gin Spritz is a modern take on the traditional Aperol Spritz. Here, the bitterness is subtly replaced by the aromatic notes of gin, enhanced by sparkling wine (like prosecco) and sparkling water. Light, thirst-quenching, and easy to prepare, this cocktail wins over with its simplicity and freshness. It's perfect for a patio aperitif or as a classy alternative to the classic spritz.

• 4 cl gin
• 6 cl prosecco or sparkling white wine
• 4 cl sparkling water
• A dash of lemon juice (optional)
• Garnish: lemon slice, rosemary sprig

1. Fill a balloon glass or large wine glass with ice cubes.
2. Pour in the gin, followed by the prosecco.
3. Add the sparkling water and a dash of lemon juice if desired.
4. Stir gently with a bar spoon.
5. Garnish with a lemon slice and a rosemary sprig.

- Add a splash of Aperol or elderflower syrup for a fruitier twist.
- Replace prosecco with a chilled Crémant for a French touch.
- Try a citrus-forward gin to enhance the cocktail’s freshness.
