Lyre's Italian Spritz is a zero-proof aperitivo spirit in the style of Aperol: bittersweet, orange-led, and designed to be mixed with soda or sparkling wine. It uses natural flavourings and Allura Red and Sunset Yellow colourings to achieve the characteristic orange appearance. The nose is bitter orange and rhubarb, lifted by soft herbal notes. On the palate, bright citrus sweetness comes first, followed by the astringency of rhubarb and a gentle bitterness. The overall profile is lively rather than deeply complex. The finish is dry, crisp, and clean. At 20g sugar per 100ml the sweetness level is comparable to Aperol. Pour 50ml over ice in a large wine glass, top with soda water and a splash of non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and garnish with an orange slice for the classic Spritz build.
