Botanical Breeze Spritz
I don't chase cocktails — I create the ones worth chasing. Rooftop energy, barefoot heart. A little sweet, a little sharp — just like my story. The kind of sip you taste once and never forget. Floral on the nose, savage in the heart. -Thandi
Botanical Breeze Spritz is not just a cocktail—it’s a declaration of spirit, crafted by Thandi Walton with the kind of rooftop confidence and barefoot soul that lingers in memory long after the last sip. This vibrant, aromatic spritz is a journey through floral, citrus, and botanical layers that harmonize like poetry in a wine glass.
Built on the clean, smooth foundation of Blackleaf Organic Vodka, this cocktail leans into its organic purity to elevate the complex, bright notes of Italicus and the rosé bitterness of Cocchi Rosa. Each pour is intentional—Blackleaf’s soft mouthfeel and zero impurities allow the liqueurs and citrus to shine with clarity, without ever losing their edge.
Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice adds a juicy, bittersweet punch that complements the floral complexity, while a whisper of lemon juice and simple syrup keeps the brightness lifted and balanced. Topped with a celebratory splash of Prosecco, it finishes effervescent and elegant—like a toast to life’s boldest moments.
Garnished with a grapefruit wheel and a freshly clapped mint sprig, the Botanical Breeze Spritz invites you in with fragrance and flair. Floral on the nose, savage in the heart—it’s the kind of cocktail you taste once and chase forever. But as Thandi says, she doesn’t chase cocktails—she creates the ones worth chasing.
