An Averna Spritz is a refreshing and bitter-sweet cocktail made with Averna liqueur and soda water. Some recipes call for sparkling wine, but this one calls for grapefruit bitters instead, and I love the deep, dark hue this combination creates. The alluring effervescence of the bubbles from the soda water adds a refreshing fizziness, making it a perfect aperitif or a summer sipper.
