Place the mint leaves into the cocktail shaker. Using a muddler, break up the mint leaves. Place all of the remaining ingredients except the blackberry soda and fresh blackberries in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake.
Place more ice into two wine glasses. Strain the cocktail shaker mixture evenly into the two glasses. Top with the sparkling blackberry soda. Float a few fresh blackberries in each drink and garnish with fresh blackberries on individual cocktail skewers.

Ingredient Tips

Instead of traditional Italian bitters like Aperol or Campari, I opt for a rose Aperitivo in this easy spritz cocktail recipe. I prefer to use Lillet Rosé as my substitute because it is light and delicious. Yes, it is French, but I don’t see anything wrong with mixing a little French influence into my Italian heritage!

Preparation + Preservation Tips

To finish off this spring medley, I add a little splash of dry gin, fresh lemon juice, and mint. And let’s not forget the bubbles: For that spritz element, I top everything off with some IZZE Blackberry Soda. Pop a few fresh blackberries in the glass along with a skewer of fresh blackberries for garnish and you have a gorgeous cocktail to toast with your friends. You might just have to have more than one. Cheers!
