If there’s one drink that’s completely taken over my spritz rotation this season, it’s the Hoxton London Spritz Amaro. Consider it the lovechild of a juicy fruit cup and a classic Italian aperitivo; bright, bittersweet and effortlessly drinkable.
The first sip hits with a lush wave of Morello cherry, raspberry, blackberry and citrus, but it never tips into sugary territory thanks to a gentle herbal bitterness from fennel. It’s vibrant, balanced and delicious.
Where this amaro truly shines is in a spritz. My go-to mix: 50 ml Hoxton London Spritz, prosecco, soda, ice, berries. Instant sunset-in-a-glass.
But the fun is in how flexible it is. Swap soda for tonic. Add extra bubbles. Serve it neat over ice for a deeper amaro moment. It adapts to whatever mood you’re in, from backyard BBQs to casual dinners to “treat yourself” solo nights.
Hoxton London Spritz Amaro is crafted with intention. This is built on a proper distilled gin base, then infused with real macerated fruit and botanicals -cherry, orange, berry, lemon and fennel, each steeped for weeks to build nuance. Even the aroma is addictive: think rich dark cherry and orange zest with a whisper of herbs.
At 20% ABV, it’s the perfect “social sipping” level – light enough for an afternoon spritz but still flavour-forward enough to feel special. It’s the bottle I pull out when I want something refreshing without committing to a full-strength spirit.
Hoxton London Spritz Amaro is a summer staple -vibrant, modern, easy to drink and genuinely exciting. It’s the spritz ingredient you didn’t know you needed but won’t want to go without once you try it.
