Zobo Spritzer

The Zobo Spritzer is proof that something beautiful does not have to be complicated. Cofa Juice Original - bold, tart, deeply red - poured over ice with a gentle layer of prosecco or elderflower sparkling water on top, jewelled with frozen raspberries and a sprig of rosemary that perfumes the glass as you drink. It works with alcohol (prosecco is the choice for a celebration) or without (elderflower sparkling makes it a stunning all-day, all-ages option). Either way, the colour alone makes it a talking point. This is the spritzer to make when you want to impress without any effort at all.

Ingredients

• 100ml Cofa Juice Original
• 100ml prosecco (or elderflower sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version)
• Small handful of frozen raspberries
• 1 fresh rosemary sprig
• Ice cubes

Method

1. Place your glass (a wide wine glass or coupe works beautifully here) in the fridge or freezer for 5–10 minutes to chill. A chilled glass keeps the spritzer colder and maintains finer bubbles for longer.
2. Remove the glass and fill it generously with ice cubes.
3. Drop a small handful of frozen raspberries over the ice. They'll keep the drink cold and slowly bleed a little of their colour as the drink is consumed - a lovely effect.
4. Pour in the 100ml of Cofa Juice Original over the ice and raspberries.
5. Top up slowly and carefully with the prosecco or elderflower sparkling water, pouring it down the inside edge of the glass to preserve as many bubbles as possible. Avoid pouring directly onto the ice.
6. Tuck a fresh rosemary sprig into the glass alongside the ice. The sprig will release its herbal fragrance as you hold and sip, adding an aromatic dimension that surprises and delights. Serve immediately.
