This Cocktail Is Taking Over Spring 2025 — Here’s the Recipe

Move over, Aperol – there’s a fresh new contender in town.

This spring, the Coffee Spritz is taking over sunny terraces and afternoon hangouts, bringing together the zesty sparkle of a spritzer with the deep, rich flavor of cold brew.

It’s refreshing, energizing, and just quirky enough to feel like the ultimate la dolce vita moment—with caffeine.

If you’re ready to try something new, here’s how to make the Coffee Spritz at home, based on a recipe from Tchibo and Freundin.

Coffee Spritz Recipe (for 2 glasses)

Ingredients:

• 1 lime (cut into large pieces)
• 20 ml lime juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 100 ml sparkling wine
• 100 ml cold brew coffee
• Ice cubes

How to Make It:

1. Add citrus base: Place lime pieces and lime juice in a tall glass.
2. Sweeten & muddle: Add the honey and press down on the lime pieces with a spoon to release the juice and mix.
3. Add ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
4. Sparkle it up: Slowly pour in the sparkling wine to keep the bubbles intact.
5. Finish with cold brew: Gently top off with cold brew coffee, stir lightly, and serve right away.
