Yuzu Spritz

Welcome to the Cookinglife kitchen! Discover the fresh and sparkling world of cocktails with this Yuzu Spritz, a refreshing twist on the classic spritz. This light drink combines the unique, citrusy flavor of yuzu with bubbles and ice for a perfect summery refreshment. Enjoy it as an aperitif or at a social gathering – at Cookinglife, we say: "Make every moment a party!"

Ingredients (for 1 glass): 50 ml yuzu juice (fresh or bottled)
100 ml prosecco or sparkling wine, well chilled
50 ml sparkling water A handful of ice cubes (about 150 g)
Optional: zest of 1 lemon or grapefruit, for extra freshness

Directions:

Fill a large wine glass with ice cubes, about three-quarters of the way full—this will keep your spritz nice and chilled and sparkling.
Carefully pour in the yuzu juice for a refreshing base.
Slowly pour the chilled prosecco over the ice to preserve the bubbles and prevent the drink from going flat too quickly.
Add the sparkling water for a lighter, more refreshing spritz.
Stir gently with a spoon to combine, and garnish with a lemon or grapefruit peel for an extra citrus kick. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.

Cookinglife's Tips and Unique Twist:

Keep it light and crisp with plenty of ice, as we always recommend at Cookinglife – "Cheers to simple luxury!" For a sugar-free version, choose pure yuzu juice with no added sweeteners, which keeps this cocktail naturally light. Since this is a drink, it's gluten-free on its own, but you can pair it with gluten-free snacks like fresh vegetables or nuts for a complete, healthy experience. Try a low-salt twist by adding fresh herbs like mint instead of extra garnishes. At Cookinglife, we believe that small changes make big flavors – enjoy and share your creations with us! 😊
