About This Drink

Indian Accent's 'The Spritz' occupies a unique space on their Soft Cocktails list: at $16 (versus $14 for the others), it signals that this is the premium zero-proof option, built around Vinada Sparkling Rosé — a Spanish dealcoholised wine from Tempranillo grapes in La Mancha that retains under 0.5% ABV. The Vinada provides a wine-adjacent structure that no syrup or juice can replicate: real tannins, real acidity, the memory of fermentation. Orange juice and a rosemary-scented syrup complete the picture. It is the drink to order when you want something that feels like an aperitivo without any of the alcohol.

Bartender Tips

Vinada Sparkling Rosé is available from Whole Foods and wine shops that carry NA wines. Thomson & Scott Noughty Sparkling Rosé is an excellent substitute. If you cannot find dealcoholised sparkling rosé, use a premium sparkling white grape juice with a squeeze of lemon — different but workable.
