• Pour prosecco slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation
• For the brightest taste, use freshly opened pineapple juice
• Twist the mint sprig gently before garnishing to release its oils
• Batch version: mix equal parts juice and prosecco in a pitcher just before guests arrive

Recipe Variations

• Herbal Twist: Add a few crushed basil leaves for an unexpected aromatic note
• Citrus Blend: Substitute half the pineapple juice with orange juice for a tropical mimosa spin

Recommended Equipment

• Stemmed wine or spritz glass
• Citrus wedge squeezer (optional)

Make Ahead Tips

Pre-measure pineapple juice and store it chilled in a small carafe. Slice lime wedges and pineapple garnishes up to four hours ahead, keeping them covered in the refrigerator.

What You Need to Know About This Recipe

The spritz traces its roots to northern Italy, where sparkling wine meets still juice or liqueur. Swapping Aperol for pineapple gives a sweeter, tropical profile while keeping the classic 50/50 juice-to-bubbles ratio that defines a true spritz.
