Tasting Notes

The yuzu liqueur and lime juice create a sharp, juicy base, while prosecco adds bubbles and light fruit notes. Sparkling coconut yuzu water rounds things out with a clean, slightly tropical lift.

It’s light, citrusy, and easy to drink ideal for fans of spritzes who enjoy a more tropical, less bitter profile than the usual.

Equipment and Glassware

For this Coconut Yuzu Spritz, you’ll need a cocktail shaker, a jigger for measuring, a strainer, and a spoon for stirring. A Collins or large stemmed wine glass works well to hold the bubbles and ice. A plate is useful for prepping the toasted coconut rim, and a small dish or brush helps with applying agave. A shaker ensures the citrus and yuzu liqueur blend smoothly before meeting the prosecco. Chilling your glass beforehand will help maintain the fizz and flavor as you build the drink.
