Thence Aperitif Spritz Recipe — Hokkaido Seasonal Liqueur

Thence Aperitif Spritz uses Tankyu's seasonal Hokkaido liqueur to make a light pre-dinner cocktail in the Italian-Japanese fusion style. Hokkaido seasonal botanicals open up in prosecco and ice.

Recipe

1. Fill a large wine glass with ice
2. 90ml prosecco (or any dry sparkling wine)
3. 60ml Thence seasonal liqueur
4. 30ml soda water
5. Gently stir once
6. Garnish with seasonal fruit slice (summer: orange wheel; autumn: pear; winter: apple)

Tips

• Wine glass — never highball — for the proper bouquet
• Prosecco-Thence-soda 3:2:1 is a Tankyu house ratio
• Best served at 6–8°C — slightly warmer than typical cocktails to let the liqueur botanicals release
