Book Review: Spritz! Cheers to 100+ Refreshing, Sparkling Cocktails by The Coastal Kitchen 🍹✨

Rating: 4 Stars

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing a copy of Spritz! by The Coastal Kitchen, and it’s a sparkling addition to any cocktail lover’s collection. The cover alone grabbed my attention—bright, inviting, and bursting with promise. Inside, the book kicks off with a concise introduction before diving into five distinct sections of spritz recipes cleverly named Excite, Refresh, Relax, Elevate, and Celebrate. Each section offers a variety of bubbly concoctions to suit any mood or occasion. 📚🍸

What I love most about this book is how approachable the recipes are. Most are straightforward and don’t require a long list of obscure ingredients, which makes mixing up these effervescent drinks feel totally doable—even for casual home bartenders. The clear, step-by-step instructions make it easy to craft everything from a zesty Limoncello Spritz perfect for summer evenings, to a floral Elderflower Fizz that’s ideal for garden parties. There’s also creative spins like the Champagne Mojito and a bold Sparkling Negroni that add a fun twist on classic favorites. And if you’re gearing up for a celebration, the Raspberry Prosecco Fizz is both festive and fruity—just what you need to toast a special moment. 🍋🌸🍾

The photography throughout the book is beautiful and really helps bring each recipe to life. It’s one of those books you’ll want to keep on your bar cart for inspiration when you want to impress guests or simply enjoy a refreshing drink yourself. 📷🥂

My only reason for giving it four stars instead of five is that while many recipes are quick and easy, a handful do require some prep or specialty ingredients that might challenge beginners. Still, it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise delightful collection. ⭐️⚠️

Overall, Spritz! is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to add some sparkle and creativity to their drink repertoire. Whether you’re hosting a sunny afternoon gathering or an evening celebration, this book has you covered. Definitely worth adding to your home bar library—cheers to making every occasion a little more bubbly! 🥳🍸🎉
