Ketel One Spritz Var

Spritz Var is a canned spritz-style cocktail from Ketel One, sold ready to drink. The "Var" in the name most likely means a variety or assorted format, so check the can labels for the exact flavors, ABV and can size. Those specifics aren't given in the product details, and this description doesn't guess at them. Spritz-style canned cocktails usually pair a spirit base with light carbonation and a fruit, citrus or botanical edge. Expect something brighter and lighter-bodied than a stirred or shaken drink, with a gentle fizz and a mildly bittersweet or fruity finish rather than heavy sweetness. Everything is already mixed and carbonated in the can, so there is no measuring, garnishing or extra mixer to buy. Chill it thoroughly before opening, because a spritz loses much of its appeal when it warms. A few hours in the fridge, or about 20 to 30 minutes in an ice bath, is enough. You can drink it straight from the can, or pour it over plenty of ice in a wine glass, highball or rocks glass. Pouring lets the aromatics open up and keeps the fizz lively as the drink cools. A citrus wheel or a sprig of fresh herb is a simple optional finish, but the can doesn't need one. Light, fizzy, citrus-leaning drinks like this tend to suit salty and savory snacks. Good matches include olives, salted nuts, crisps, charcuterie, soft cheeses, bruschetta and light seafood. They also work with brunch spreads and summer grilling. The single-serve cans travel well for picnics, beach days, patio gatherings and cooler-bag outings. They suit the aperitivo hour before dinner, and they are an easy way to offer guests a drink that needs no bartending.
