Tips
- Add the filler last and stir once at most, so the carbonation stays in the glass.
- Stirring rather than shaking keeps the drink clear; shaken it would turn cloudy.

We mix it with THE DUKE Rough Gin. Another gin from our house works too, but shifts the character: the Munich Dry Gin is strong and spicy and the Wanderlust Gin floral with raspberry and rose.
How long does the GINger Spritz take?
About 3 minutes. It is built in the glass, and you need a bar spoon and ice.
Which glass is the GINger Spritz served in?
We serve it in a wine glass. Fill it with ice first so the drink stays cold longer.

It is one of the simple ones: no shaker needed. The defining ingredients are THE DUKE Rough Gin, THE DUKE Ginger Beer and Prosecco.
