Reimagining the Amalfi Coast in a Glass
When I first dreamed up the Amalfi Spritz Mocktail, I was craving a drink that felt celebratory yet didn’t include alcohol. During pregnancy, I missed the ritual of pouring a beautiful spritz as the sun dipped lower in the sky. That’s when I began experimenting with ingredients like fresh lemon juice, peach nectar, and non-alcoholic sparkling wine to recreate the vibrant, zesty flavors of the Amalfi coast.
With every sip, this mocktail transports you to cobblestone streets lined with lemon trees and ocean breezes. The tartness of citrus, balanced by the delicate sweetness of peach and topped with lively bubbles, makes it feel like an Italian holiday in a glass.
