The British Spritz: A Proper Alternative to Aperol

The Aperol Spritz has had a good run.It’s photogenic, polite, and available everywhere from Venice to Woking. But some of us are ready for something with a bit more backbone.

Enter the British spritz.

G&D is a ready-to-drink cocktail made from gin and fortified wine — inspired by the Queen’s favourite drink, and bottled for those who prefer scandal to saccharine. Rich, herbal, and 20% ABV, it doesn’t need much to make it sing.

Serve it over ice, top with tonic or soda, add a slice of lemon or orange, and you’ve got a spritz that’s properly grown up. Not fluorescent. Not fizzy-pop sweet. Just… better.

Why choose a British spritz?

Because you’ve evolved.Because your tastebuds have too.Because the sort of person who drinks G&D doesn’t tend to follow trends — they tend to set them.

Aperol is for the group chat.G&D is for the private invite.

How to make a G&D Spritz:

• Fill a highball with ice

• Add a generous pour of G&D

• Top with tonic or soda (tonic adds bite, soda keeps it dry)

• Garnish with a twist of orange, lemon, or a long afternoon

You can also try it with sparkling wine or cucumber tonic if you’re feeling outrageous.There are no rules — just standards.

So next time someone offers you an Aperol, try saying this instead:

“No thanks — I drink British.”
