As January ushers in a more mindful approach to drinking, flavour remains firmly on the agenda. Enter the soda, citrus and bitters spritz, a refined, no- to low-alcohol serve that feels intentional rather than restrictive.
With its crisp bubbles, fresh citrus lift and the unmistakable aromatic depth of ANGOSTURA® bitters, this grown-up alternative delivers complexity without relying on a heavy pour.
It’s proof that even in reset mode, drinks can still feel considered, celebratory and satisfying, whether enjoyed as a weekday wind-down or served when entertaining guests who are choosing to sip a little lighter.
