Heartattack and Thanksgiving Spritz

We reached out to our friends at Heartattack and Vine to create a festive cocktail recipe to serve to your guests upon arriving at your Thanksgiving feast! They've used the ingredients of our spritz pack to create a sweet herbaceous spritz with a bitter finish and vibrant colour, made with an oregano syrup. It tastes like an Italian summer for your thanksgiving lunch, now doesn't that sound dreamy?!

  • 20 ml Gin (optional)
