The Braulio Spritz, from Sydney bar Whirly Bird is an ideal way to take your alpine amaro. It’s simple to make, as well: all you do is take braulio, add some rose sparkling, a hit of ginger beer, and you’ve got yourself a complex, refreshing Spritz.
Braulio is one of the alpine styles of amaro, and a beautiful drink that just makes you think of ski field chalets (well, it does for us). There’s a mix of alpine botanicals involved — including gentian, juniper, wormwood, and yarrow — and it’s matured for a couple of years in oak before bottling.
