The Nicholson Pink Rosé Spritz has been introduced as a spritz-style cocktail that's headed to Nicholson's pub locations in the UK to help consumers celebrate the summer in a seasonally appropriate way. The drink starts off with Nicholson London Dry Gin and is paired with Light Bijou Rose wine before being topped with lime and soda. The final product is a cocktail with a light, fruit-forward flavor that's at once effervescent, refreshing and crisp.
CEO of Nicholson Alex Johns commented on the Nicholson Pink Rosé Spritz saying, "This brings together two parts of the Nicholson story that grew up side by side. There’s huge heritage behind both the gin and the pubs, but the serve [Pink Rosé Spritz] itself is deliberately contemporary – lighter, refreshing and built around the Spritz occasion that consumers are actively seeking out."
