Tyrolean Spritz

1. 1

   To make the rosemary simple syrup: Bring one cup water and one cup sugar to a low simmer. Once simmering, add 4 sprigs rosemary. Continue to simmer for a half hour. You can strain then, or leave the rosemary in the syrup overnight for a stronger flavor. Strain before use. (You can also easily scale this down by halving everything: 1/2 cup each sugar and water, 2 sprigs rosemary.)

2. 2

   Combine the sparkling wine, sparkling water, amaro, orange juice, simple syrup and bitters and stir gently with a spoon. Pour into a large wine glass or highball filled about halfway with ice. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and an orange wedge. Serve immediately.

3. 3

   Note: You can substitute different varieties of bitters for the orange, and different aperitifs for the Ramazzotti amaro as well. It will change the flavor of the drink, but it will still be a spritz!
