Seedlip Burnt Citrus Spritz

Seedlip Burnt Citrus Spritz by Tasty Decoy

It seems like low alcohol spritzes are all the rage these days, and with good reason. They’re simple to make, tasty and straight to the point flavor bombs.

But wait a minute…whats up with this burnt citrus, you ask? Well, its really all about adding flavor. Heating the citrus activates its natural oils, releases its inner juices and primes it to be an integral ingredient in your cocktail…and burning it only adds a layer of caramelization that you won’t be able to get any other way. Just pretend that you’re Francis Mallmann with a skillet instead of a six foot, outdoor fire pit and get burning!

The key to making this cocktail great lies in the ingredients. Simply use the very best of what is in season and what you can get your hands on.

If you should find yourself in the Mendonoma area, be sure to head on over to Surf Market to get a bottle or two of Seedlip, a jar of Lover’s Lane Farm’s Wildflower Honey and the rest of the supplies you’ll need!

When it comes to citrus, just use whatever is available, in season and at its best.
