Wonderspritz

Non-alcoholic aperitif in the bitter orange spritz style, with candied orange peel, gentian and a herbal backbone.

About This Drink

Wonderspritz comes from Rheinland Distillers in Bonn, the team behind Wonderleaf and Wonderazul. It is a non-alcoholic aperitif concentrate built on orange peel, gentian root and herbal extracts, pitched squarely at the Aperol Spritz crowd. The liquid is a vivid orange-red in the glass. The aroma is immediate: candied orange peel, a faint earthiness from the gentian, a herbal note underneath. It drinks fruity and bitter in the right proportion, with the gentian providing enough edge to stop it reading as a soft drink. The bitter-orange note hangs around in the finish longer than you might expect given the sugar content. It is a concentrate and needs diluting. The recommended build is two parts Wonderspritz to three parts alcohol-free sparkling wine with a splash of soda, served over ice with an orange slice. That ratio works. Neat it is cloying. Get the proportions right and it reads as a convincing spritz.

Ingredients

Water, invert sugar, glucose, herb/spice and citrus extracts and distillates, citric acid (acidulant), potassium sorbate (preservative), quinine aroma, natural aroma, colorants (sunset yellow FCF, cochineal red A)
