Italian-Inspired NA Cocktail #8: The Milano Spritz

Our Dry January advocate shares a NA cocktail recipe for a Spritz that pays homage to the aperitivo culture of Milan.

This NA nod to Milan's aperitivo culture is elevated by sparkling grapefruit soda. Free Spirits, a non-alcoholic drinks brand from Marin County, CA, makes a bittersweet aperitivo they call The Spirit of Milano, which forms the base of this refresher.
