Med Spritz – A Yacht Party Without the Yacht

Close your eyes and picture the Amalfi Coast, or maybe Mykonos — crisp white shirts, oversized sunglasses, salty air, and that perfect mix of sun and sea. Now open your eyes, because you don’t need a boat to host a yacht party. You just need the Med Spritz.

This cocktail is an elegant, fizzy blend of Kavo Rum (1 oz), Select Aperitivo (1 oz), Prosecco (3 oz), and sparkling water (2 oz). The Kavo brings a subtle depth and sun-kissed flavor, while Select gives you that perfect Italian-style bitter orange pop. Topped with bubbly and a splash of sparkling water, it’s built for sipping, not slamming.

Serve it in large stemmed wine glasses over ice with a fat orange wheel — and suddenly your backyard feels like Portofino. It’s bright, photogenic, and insanely crushable.

Throw on a linen shirt, cue up a playlist with Nu-Disco and Café del Mar classics, and invite your friends over for a “Yacht Party on Land.” This cocktail works beautifully with light bites: olives, burrata, ceviche, or gourmet chips. Set up umbrellas, scatter striped towels across the lawn, and let everyone drift into that spritz-fueled bliss.

This isn’t your average aperetivo spritz. This is a Med Spritz — with the soul of Greece, the charm of Italy, and the chill of the Riviera. It’s classy, relaxed, and the ultimate daytime flex.

Pro tip: prep the Kavo + Select base ahead of time in a bottle and let guests top off with Prosecco and sparkling water at a self-serve spritz bar.
