Ingredients
Sugar Salt Rim
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon orange zest
Cocktail
- ½ ounce fresh orange juice
- 1½ ounces Campari
- 3 ounces Lambrusco sparkling red wine
- Splash of sparkling water
- Extra-virgin olive oil for garnish
- Green olives and orange slice for garnish
Instructions
- On a small plate, combine the sugar, salt, and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar and salt until it’s evenly mixed and fragrant.
- Run an orange wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip it into the salt-sugar mixture to coat.

- Drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top, then garnish with olives on a skewer and an orange slice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Chill your glass: Before serving, place your glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill.
- Serve right away: Since it’s sparkling, this spritz is best made just before serving.
- Different Citrus: Try using blood orange or grapefruit for a slightly more bitter flavor.
