Elusa Orange Spritz
The Elusa Orange Spritz is a cleaner interpretation of the aperitif ritual; bright citrus, structured bitterness, and a dryness that keeps you reaching for the next sip.
Not a sugar drink. A drinking drink. Built around real distillate, not flavouring.

No Syrup. No garnish theatre. Full aroma and structure. Traditional spritz serves lean heavily on sugar to feel generous. Ours relies on balance. Fresh orange distillate delivers aromatic lift, while natural bitterness tightens the finish. The result is vibrant yet restrained, refreshing without dilution of character.
​
This is an aperitif designed for people who enjoy wine, not just cocktails.
WHY IT WORKS
Most orange liqueurs are designed as modifiers, sweeteners that sit inside cocktails.
Ours is designed as a base spirit.
​
That distinction changes everything:
-
Lower perceived sweetness
-
Longer finish
-
Aromatic depth rather than sugar weight
-
Refreshment without fatigue
​
You can drink a second glass. And still want a third.
TASTING NOTES
Aroma: Fresh orange zest, light florals, gentle herbal lift
Palate: Bright citrus entry, rounded mid-palate, structured bitterness
Finish: Dry, clean, lingering orange oil
THE NEW APERITIF MOMENT
The aperitif should sharpen appetite, not dull it.
​
This serve sits comfortably before dinner, beside food, or through an entire evening.
It refreshes rather than fills, closer to wine than cocktail.
​
A drink for conversation, not performance.
