Designed to showcase the bold, aromatic intensity of Marie Brizard’s award winning range, the new recipes focus on three of the French brand’s best-selling flavours – passionfruit, apricot and raspberry – in a series of cocktails to create at home. 

A Spritz is simply a base flavour, ice and a splash of soda, or prosecco, and can be endlessly customised with different flavours and garnishes to suit different occasions. 

Founded in 1755 and named after its founder, Marie Brizard is the oldest French liqueur house in the world. 

It has a range of over 50 award-winning syrups and liqueurs all made with 100% natural flavourings and no preservatives to the standard Marie Brizard herself kept and which still used by the production team today.  

Versatile, colourful and full of flavour, its a favourite with bartenders for creating cocktails: both alcoholic mixes using the liqueurs range, and ‘no and low’ creations with the syrups.

Marie Brizard’s UK mixologist, Ryan Way picked his favourite flavours from the range to create these three spritzes, which are perfect served as a light pre-dinner drink or alfresco with friends.
