The 4 Best Spritz Cocktail Recipes To Drink This Spring
grapefruit sprtiz cocktail

The spritz is liquid springtime, utilizing the power of sparkling wine and the floral nature of this time of year. The classic involves prosecco and Aperol but that's merely one of countless permutations to make and enjoy this iconic sipper. Think of it as a fizzy cooler, a drinkable bouquet of sorts cut to your liking based on your favorite accents, aromatics, and mixers.

While we advise you to go with the Italian classic and utilize the famous bitter aperitif, at least some of the time, we also want you to be curious and inventive. Like the Old-Fashioned or Negroni, the spritz is so much more than one thing, and very much worth plunging into and fully exploring.

Feta lamb meatballs with creamy sauce.

Unless you're vegan, there aren't many bad things to say about our delicious friend, the meatball. Plus, even if you are vegan, you can enjoy great plant-based alternatives that even your carnivore friends would have difficulty telling the difference.

The thing about a meatball is that its tastiness isn't determined solely by the quality of meat. A great aspect of the meaty round boys is the ingredients that go into them. Depending on the flavor profile, there will usually be an array of seasonings, some type of binder (like eggs and breadcrumbs), and minced veggies.
