Sunset Spritz with IMPOSTER Gin

Sparkling grapefruit • elderflower • lemon aroma

Blush Sunset Spritz in a wine glass with a lemon twist on a dark wood table

Sunset Spritz brings grapefruit and elderflower into a Gin-inspired wine-glass serve. Its measured sparkling-grapefruit pour is larger than the one in the supplied French 75, though both use Gin and elderflower syrup. Club soda finishes this drink after the still ingredients are combined, and a lemon twist provides aroma without an added juice measure. Make it for an early-evening menu where a long, sparkling drink suits the food and pace. The source names Owen's Club Soda for the top-up but leaves its volume open. Preserve the measured grapefruit, Gin, and elderflower pours while that final quantity is confirmed.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the glass

Fill a wine glass with fresh serving ice.

Step 2: Measure the ingredients

Measure 2 oz IMPOSTER Gin, 0.5 oz Monin Elderflower Syrup into the glass and combine the still ingredients.

Why This Works With IMPOSTER Gin

IMPOSTER Gin adds a botanical direction beneath grapefruit and floral syrup. Soda extends the sparkling serve, while the lemon twist finishes it without introducing another sweetened mixer. Its 3 oz grapefruit measure separates this formula from the smaller French 75 variation.

Serving Notes

Combine Gin and elderflower syrup before gently adding the sparkling grapefruit.

Add club soda last and place the lemon twist at the rim. Do not squeeze additional lemon juice into the measured recipe.

Variations and Substitutions

Soda brand

Plain unflavored club soda is the relevant mixer type. Tonic or sweetened lemon soda changes the recipe's balance.

Without lemon twist

Omit the garnish if unavailable rather than replacing it with an unmeasured juice pour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sunset Spritz the same as the supplied French 75?

They share Gin and elderflower, but Sunset uses 3 oz sparkling grapefruit and a lemon twist; the French 75 uses 2 oz grapefruit and specifies no garnish.

How much Owen's Club Soda is needed?

The source says to top with it without specifying a volume. That quantity needs confirmation for the serving glass.

Is Sunset Spritz alcohol-free?

IMPOSTER Gin is a zero-proof spirit-inspired base. Check the current labels for Monin Elderflower Syrup and both sparkling mixers before describing the entire finished drink as alcohol-free.
