FRENZEL Rosé Spritz
Enjoy our refreshing FRENZEL Rosé Spritz with FRENZEL Grapefruit! An elegant variation on the classic Spritz with the special flavour of Prosecco Rosé - perfect for special occasions and relaxed summer evenings.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Prepare the glass: Prepare a large wine glass or shot glass (ideally a balloon or Copa glass). Optionally, place the glass in the freezer briefly beforehand to pre-chill it.
- Fill with ice: Fill the glass generously with ice cubes. The ice should reach almost to the rim to keep the drink cool for a long time.
- Add FRENZEL Grapefruit: Pour 60 ml (6 cl) of FRENZEL Grapefruit over the ice cream. The liquid should be evenly distributed over the ice cream.
- Top up with Prosecco Rosé: Carefully pour 90 ml (9 cl) of well-chilled Prosecco Rosé into the glass along the glass wall to retain the carbon dioxide. Hold the glass at a slight angle.
- Stir carefully: Using a bar spoon, carefully stir once from bottom to top so that the FRENZEL Grapefruit and Prosecco Rosé mix well. Do not stir too vigorously to preserve the carbon dioxide.
- Top with soda: Top the drink with around 30 ml (3 cl) of ice-cold soda water to give the spritz extra effervescence. The amount can be adjusted according to personal taste.
- Prepare the garnishCut a slice of grapefruit or orange. Optionally, make a small incision in the slice to attach it to the rim of the glass.
- Garnish and serveAttach the grapefruit or orange slice to the rim of the glass. Optionally, add a sprig of rosemary as an additional flavour garnish. If required, insert a straw into the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
🌸 ROSÉ-ELEGANCE: The Prosecco Rosé gives this spritz an elegant pink colour and a fruity, berry note that harmonises perfectly with the grapefruit. Ideal for special occasions!
🍊 GARNITURE TIP: Pink grapefruit is a perfect colour match for pink Prosecco and enhances the grapefruit flavour. Alternatively, a slice of blood orange provides a dramatic colour contrast.
🌿 HERB GARNISH: A sprig of fresh rosemary gives the drink a Mediterranean flavour. Slap the rosemary between your palms before serving to release the essential oils.
☀️ SERVING TIME: Ideal as an aperitif before a Mediterranean or Italian menu. Also perfect for brunch, garden parties or as a welcome drink at celebrations.

Bittersweet Summerdays
myBar by David Gran - Fancy a refreshing, fluffy drink? Then how about the „Bittersweet Summerdays" cocktail? For this dream of a drink, the grapefruit liqueur from frenzel.drinks was combined with full-bodied bourbon whiskey, fresh lemon, cane sugar and an airy basil foam.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Prepare the basil foam (can be made in advance):
- Mixing foam ingredientsAdd 3 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice, 3 cl basil syrup and 3 cl Aqua Faba (the water from a can of chickpeas) to the cream siphon.
- Load cream siphonClose the cream siphon tightly and load with an N2O capsule (nitrous oxide capsule). Shake vigorously and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours. The foam can also be prepared the day before.
Prepare a cocktail
- Prepare the ingredients: Freshly squeeze the lemon to obtain 2.5 cl of lemon juice. Prepare a cocktail bowl (coupette) and optionally pre-chill.
- Fill the shakerPour 3.5 cl FRENZEL Grapefruit, 4 cl bourbon whiskey, 2 cl cane sugar syrup and 2.5 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice into the cocktail shaker.
- Add ice and shake: Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the shaker. Close the shaker tightly and shake all the ingredients vigorously for approx. 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker fogs up and becomes very cold.
- Strain into a cocktail glass: Strain the cocktail through the bar strainer into the prepared cocktail bowl. A fine sieve can also be used for extra clarity (double strain).
- Top with basil foam: Shake the cream siphon well and carefully pour the airy basil foam onto the cocktail to create a nice head of foam.
- Garnish and serveGarnish with a fresh sage leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy this bittersweet summer dream!
Notes
🌿 MAKE YOUR OWN BASIL SYRUP: Boil 100 ml water with 100 g sugar. Add a handful of fresh basil leaves, leave to infuse for 10 minutes, strain and leave to cool. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
🥃 BOURBON SELECTION: A good bourbon with vanilla and caramel notes harmonises perfectly with grapefruit. Bulleit Bourbon, Woodford Reserve or Wild Turkey 81 are recommended.
🫧 AQUA FABA TIP: Chickpea water (Aqua Faba) is the plant-based alternative to egg white and provides the perfect, stable foam. A standard tin of chickpeas contains approx. 120 ml Aqua Faba.
💡 WITHOUT CREAM SIPHON: If you don't have a cream siphon, you can also froth Aqua Faba with an electric milk frother or in a tall container with a hand blender. The result is not quite as stable, but it also works.
🌟 SIGNATURE DRINK: This recipe comes from David Gran (myBar) and is a perfect example of modern mixology. The combination of classic spirits and innovative techniques makes this cocktail something special.

Notes
🍋 FRESH LEMON JUICE IS A MUST: This is the golden rule for sours! Never use bottled lemon juice. Freshly squeezed juice makes the difference between an average and an outstanding cocktail.
🥃 SOUR-FAMILY: The sour is one of the most important cocktail categories and follows the classic formula: Spirit + citrus + sweetness. The FRENZEL Sour is a fruity variation of this iconic cocktail.
🥚 PREMIUM VARIANT WITH PROTEIN: For a „FRENZEL Sour Deluxe“, add 1.5 cl fresh egg white (or 2 cl Aqua Faba). First „dry shake“ without ice (10 seconds), then shake again with ice. Results in a velvety texture with a nice head of foam.
⚖️ BALANCE IS EVERYTHING: The ratio of sweet to sour is crucial. The standard ratio of 6:3:2 (spirit:citrus:sweetness) is a good starting point. Adjust according to personal taste.
