This citrus-forward, herbaceous spritz comes together in minutes.
When it comes to a simple spritz, the combination of citrus and bittersweet liqueur (like Aperol, Campari, or Cynar) is a classic for a reason. This Yuzu Amaro Spritz is a summer-ready drink from one of New York’s buzziest new restaurants, Metro, where the beverage program is helmed by industry alum Jordana James. Featuring floral yuzu and lime soda paired with herbaceous amaro, rosemary, and honey, this is a sweet spritz we can’t get enough of.
For this drink, Jordana uses Amaro Nonino, which hails from the Friuli region of Italy and is made by a family who has been distilling spirits for well over 100 years. It is slightly sweet with warming citrus notes and is perhaps best known for its use in a Paper Plane. “Amaro Nonino really amplifies the flavors of the honey and citrus,” adds Jordana. Nonino’s herbaceous quality also plays off the woody flavor of the rosemary which gets added to a cocktail shaker to infuse into the fresh lime juice, amaro and honey syrup.
