Dirty Spritz

Dirty Spritz

Bubbly, briny, and crowned with King Orange, the Dirty Spritz is an aperitivo staple.  Created in collaboration with Amanda Jones of Austin's beloved Nickel City, this cocktail takes everything you love about a classic spritz and gives it a savory twist with olive brine, Lillet Blanc, and a bright citrus finish.

Finished with a DEHY King Orange garnish and a skewered olive, it's the kind of drink that feels equally at home at golden hour happy hour or an elegant dinner party. As Amanda says, "I wanted to be able to have a martini with my friends, but I am such a lightweight I can’t have two oz of gin before dinner. So this is a martini-spritz mashup".

  • ¾ oz olive juice
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
