The ready-to-drink beverage brand Saint Spritz has introduced its newest flavour — the Saint Spritz Sardinia. This new addition is a passionfruit and mango spritz that draws inspiration from the Mediterranean's easygoing aperitivo culture.
As a vibrant wine-based beverage, the Saint Spritz Sardinia layers tropical passionfruit and juicy mango with a hint of blood orange to create a balanced, fruit-forward take on the classic Italian aperitivo. The recipe boasts 30-35% real fruit juice, alongside natural botanicals and premium wine. The blend is also free from artificial dyes, sweeteners, and added sugar. This new flavour joins the existing core varieties Amalfi, Sicily, Hugo, and non-alcoholic Virgin options.
Saint Spritz was founded by sisters-in-law JoJo Fletcher and Mallory Patton. The company has positioned itself as the number one ready-to-drink spritz in the United States for 2025.
