Questions

What is Blood Orange Negroni Spritz?

A lighter, bubbly riff on the classic Negroni that swaps gin for prosecco and adds fresh blood orange juice for a bittersweet, vibrantly colored aperitivo. This reference files it under Italian alcoholic drink: made without cooking, rated easy and about 6 minutes start to finish.

Can I make Blood Orange Negroni Spritz without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 1.5 oz Campari, 1.5 oz sweet vermouth and 3 oz dry prosecco or sparkling wine, chilled. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.

How many calories are in Blood Orange Negroni Spritz?

One serving (the recipe makes 1) is about 175 calories, with 3 g protein, 38 g carbohydrate and 0 g fat, plus 7 g fiber and 6 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I batch Blood Orange Negroni Spritz for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 1. Halved, the Campari drops from 1.5 oz to 3/4 oz; doubled, it is 3 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To batch it for a crowd, multiply everything but add the ice only when serving.
