Gordon’s Spritz Edition is a new series of products crafted with the classic spritz-style cocktail in mind to help consumers achieve high-quality drinks in a simple way. The products respond to the increasing popularity of spritz-style cocktails and only need to be portioned out before being topped with prosecco for a bar-quality refreshment. The product comes in with a 14.7% ABV and comes in two flavors including Strawberry & Passionfruit and Lime & Elderflower, which are arriving in the UK in 500ml bottles for £14.
Head of Innovation Commercialization at Diageo GB Emma Taylor commented on the Gordon's Spritz Edition saying, "Gordon’s Spritz Edition is about giving people an opportunity to elevate their ordinary catchups without any of the barriers traditionally associated with cocktail-making making those bubbly moments that little bit more special."
