Backgound:
The Classic Spritz is cocktail that has in recent years been coming back into fashion. A successor to the Pimms Cup or rosé wine...maybe. Low in alcohol, refreshing and great tasting (a bit like Pimms), but slightly more bitter-sweet. You can also add 25ml of gin to the cocktail for extra depth of flavour.
