Book Review: Spritz! Cheers to 100+ Refreshing, Sparkling Cocktails by The Coastal Kitchen
Rating: 4 Stars
I recently had the pleasure of reviewing a copy of "Spritz!" by The Coastal Kitchen, and it’s a sparkling addition to any cocktail lover’s collection. The cover alone grabbed my attention—bright, inviting, and bursting with promise. Inside, the book kicks off with a concise introduction before diving into five distinct sections of spritz recipes cleverly named Excite, Refresh, Relax, Elevate, and Celebrate. Each section offers a variety of bubbly concoctions to suit any mood or occasion.
What I love most about this book is how approachable the recipes are. Most are straightforward and don’t require a long list of obscure ingredients, which makes mixing up these effervescent drinks feel totally doable—even for casual home bartenders. The clear, step-by-step instructions make it easy to craft everything from a zesty Limoncello Spritz perfect for summer evenings, to a floral Elderflower Fizz that’s ideal for garden parties. There’s also creative spins like the Champagne Mojito and a bold Sparkling Negroni that add a fun twist on classic favorites. And if you’re gearing up for a celebration, the Raspberry Prosecco Fizz is both festive and fruity—just what you need to toast a special moment.
The photography throughout the book is beautiful and really helps bring each recipe to life. It’s one of those books you’ll want to keep on your bar cart for inspiration when you want to impress guests or simply enjoy a refreshing drink yourself.
My only reason for giving it four stars instead of five is that while many recipes are quick and easy, a handful do require some prep or specialty ingredients that might challenge beginners. Still, it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise delightful collection.
Overall, Spritz! is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to add some sparkle and creativity to their drink repertoire. Whether you’re hosting a sunny afternoon gathering or an evening celebration, this book has you covered. Definitely worth adding to your home bar library—cheers to making every occasion a little more bubbly!

Spritz! is a nice drinks collection with recipes curated by Coastal Kitchen. Released 1st July 2025 by Cider Mill Press, it's 224 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a surprisingly comprehensive book and full of fun and creative sparkling drinks. This book fits right into the skill building - hosting/entertaining - home hobby genre. The drinks are fresh, sparkling, and low ABV (alcohol by volume).
The intro chapter includes a layman accessible explanation of process, tools and ingredients, and hygiene and cleanliness. The following drink chapters are arranged very loosely "thematically": excite, refresh, relax, elevate, and celebrate.
Recipes contain ingredients in a bullet point list in a sidebar. Measurements are given in standard imperial (American) units, followed by step by step instructions. Alternative brewing methods or ingredients are listed after the main/classic recipe along with serving suggestions. The photography is clear, professional, and appealing.
Well written and presented, this would make a good gift choice, library selection, or a fine addition for folks who enjoy entertaining.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

It’s spritzy summer! The timing of this book release is perfect for the ever growing popularity of spritzes lately. This cocktail book has a wide variety of spritzes from the classic Aperol Spritz and Peach Bellinis, to spritzes that feature more interesting flavor profiles like sweet, savory, and fruity. There’s definitely a spritz in here for everyone (including my bourbon loving husband). I tried a few of the spritzes featured in this book and they all came out great. I’ve got a few more I’m interested in trying, but they’re all simple enough to make at home. Advanced bartender skills aren’t necessary!
I love the layout of the recipes in this book. The pages are neat, clean, and easy to read. Each recipe fits on a single page with easy to read ingredients and instructions (that are in different font colors). I also loved the artistry in the photography. If the recipes aren’t enough to convince you to create one of the recipes in this book, the pictures definitely are. The conversation table at the end is also great and makes the recipes easily accessible to people all over the world no matter their preferred unit of measurement.
I will say the only slight drawback in this recipe book is that a handful of the mentioned ingredients can be harder to find depending on where you live and your accessibility to some of the more unique products listed.

Thank you to Netgalley and Cider Mill press for a copy provided for an honest review.
I fell in love with the Elderflower Spritz while visiting Paris a few years ago during a heat wave. There was nothing like stopping in the midafternoon heat and relaxing with a cool, refreshing drink. So when the temperatures hit 95°F this weekend after mowing the yard, I pulled out this book and looked for a similar feeling in a cocktail. My husband was curious how the recipe for the Elderflower Spritz in this book compared to the one on the St. Germaine website, so he made two for each of us. This book wins! With the temperatures rising, I’m looking forward to trying more of these drinks over the summer.
The book has a brief introduction then is followed by five sections of spritz recipes themed Excite, Refresh, Relax, Elevate, and Celebrate. The majority of the recipes are short and relatively easy to make. We even had the garnishes on hand for the recipes we made this weekend. There are a few that involve making a simple recipe and other ingredients that we would have to procure, but most of them were items that we had in our rather extensive bar supplies. The recipes were followed by beautiful photos of the drinks. I would love to have a copy just for the pretty pictures.
Recommended for spritz lovers and those looking for a cool refreshing drink this time of year.

Spritz is yet another reminder that cocktail books seem contractually obligated to be beautiful, and this one absolutely delivers. It’s a compilation of spritz recipes, all variations on the classic cocktail style, and while some of them drift into “aspirational bar cart” territory, financially speaking, others are refreshingly approachable. A few recipes require a lineup of liqueurs that would make your wallet flinch, but if you have even a little experience with cocktails, it’s easy to imagine substitutions or to use the recipes purely as inspiration.
The photography is stunning throughout. Even when a drink feels impractical to make at home, it’s still a pleasure to linger over the images. The book also goes beyond the glass, showing the cocktails set into full tablescapes alongside food pairings, which adds to the sense of occasion. Every drink feels designed to elevate an event, no matter how casual.
As someone who is a very casual drinker, I was surprised by how many of these cocktails made me want to go out and order them at a bar. If you’re interested in mixology at all, this is worth flipping through. And if you’re simply a foodie who enjoys beautiful books and thoughtful presentation, it’s an easy recommendation. Gorgeous, indulgent, and full of ideas.

I have to admit when I picked up this cocktail cookbook I was not holding out much hope for creativity after all how many variations on a spritz cocktail are there before its all repetitive. Boy, was I wrong. Yes, there are the traditional spritz where you add a bubbly feature to a base liquor, think an aperol spritz or French 75. However, there are also incredibly inventive ingredients and cocktails as well, like olive-leaf infused gin, raspberry syrup and seaweed-infused honey to name a few. I am very excited to deep dive into these unique flavor profiles. Each recipe includes an introduction, garnish, glassware, ingredient and easy to follow instructions. There is also an enticing photo of the concoction, artfully styled. I highly highly recommend this one for home mixologist looking for new and adventurous additions to their cocktail lineup.

An interesting cocktail book full of recipes for bubbly drinks, laid out in 5 different categories: Excite, Refresh, Relax, Elevate, and Celebrate. The photography is spectacular, making this a great coffee table book too! I like that the book has something for everyone. There are both simple and more complex recipes. There are classic cocktails and creative new ones. If you are adventurous, there are ones with custom ingredients that they also give you the recipes for.
Overall, it’s a well put together cocktail book that would be fun to own or great as a gift as well!

Overall I enjoyed this cocktail cookbook featuring spritz. I got some great ideas for my bar and enjoyed the pictures and easy to follow instructions. I felt some of the ingredients are too difficult to find and there wasn’t a ton of front copy to explain the overall narrative. However I’ll definitely be making some of these soon!

Thank you to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.
A pretty good cocktail book for spritz aficionados. The layout is neat and easy to follow and the cocktails are plenty.
Personally I wanted a bit more personality and even though the way the cocktails are grouped is exciting, I guess I wanted something different.
