The Best Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo Spritz Recipe (Zero Proof)

If you love the dry, bitter, and complex profile of a classic Italian spritz but want to skip the alcohol, this Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo Spritz is exactly what you need.

Perfect for cocktail hour, pre-dinner sipping, or watching the sunset, this recipe delivers a sophisticated, grounded experience. The secret is in the botanicals—specifically the gentian root and bitter orange peel, which provide that signature "adult" bite.

The Secret Ingredient

The base of this drink is our Aperitivo Spritz Infusion Jar. By infusing bitter orange peel, sweet orange peel, hibiscus, gentian, chamomile, and a hint of star anise, you create a deeply complex, zero-proof base.

Note: Each infusion jar yields approximately 30 oz of infusion base (enough for about 10 drinks). Because the botanicals are contained in an infusion bag, no straining is required!
