Cocktail Description
The Rutte Spritz transforms a classic gin cocktail into something extraordinary with its delicate balance of crisp gin and luscious apricot liqueur.
This refreshing highball combines the botanical complexity of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the sweet stone fruit notes of Giffard Apricot liqueur, brightened by fresh lime juice and lightened with effervescent club soda. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable cocktail with a perfect balance of tart, sweet, and botanical flavors. It's remarkably simple to make, requiring just a quick shake of the base ingredients before topping with soda, making it ideal for casual entertaining. The Rutte Spritz shines as a pre-dinner aperitif on warm summer evenings or as a brunch companion when you want something lighter than a mimosa. Its bright, fruit-forward profile pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, light salads, or soft cheeses, while the lime garnish adds a fragrant citrus aroma that enhances each sip.
