The Cotswolds Distillery is delighted to announce the launch of Cotswolds Wild Spritz, a bittersweet English aperitivo, which will be unveiled at the opening night of the distillery’s new bar, The Hidden Still on Friday 22nd May. Cotswolds Wild Spritz is a new addition to the distillery’s award-winning spirits portfolio and visitors to the new Hidden Still Bar will be able to enjoy this new product along with a selection of world-class gin and whisky cocktails curated by skilled mixologist Ollie Morris.
Cotswolds Wild Spritz is the Cotswolds Distillery’s take on an English aperitivo, offering a distinctive, refreshing and bittersweet taste. Hand-crafted at the distillery, using classic English botanicals including lavender, hops and lemon balm and lifted with bright, distilled fresh orange peel, it offers a balanced serve with a drier, refined profile inspired by the beauty of the English countryside.
Daniel Szor, Founder and CEO of The Cotswolds Distillery says: “Cotswolds Wild Spritz is an exciting new addition to our drinks portfolio and we are delighted to be launching it at our new distillery bar, The Hidden Still. Cotswolds Wild Spritz is perfect for the long, relaxed drinking occasion and what better place to enjoy it than at our new bar, situated in the heart of the beautiful English countryside.”
Bottled at an ABV of 30%, Cotswolds Wild Spritz is presented in a clear glass bottle and the label is adorned with a flower and botanical decoration that brings to life this latest distillery expression. Cotswolds Wild Spritz is best enjoyed as a spritz with sparkling wine and a splash of soda.
Cotswolds Wild Spritz is available online from www.cotswoldsdistillery.com and also at the distillery’s three shops based in Broadway, Bourton-on-the-Water and at the Cotswolds Distillery, Stourton, near Shipston-on-Stour.
