Hosting should feel fun, not frantic. That’s why the TANICA Spritz is the ultimate party starter—delicious, sophisticated and easy to prepare ahead of time. With just a little planning, you can create that magical arrival moment where guests feel instantly at ease, glass in hand, while you enjoy the party stress-free.
Here’s our foolproof timeline for a smooth start:
2 hour before guest arrive
Cut up citrus wheels of lemon, pink grapefruit and/or blood orange. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge. Fill an esky with nice, clear cubes of ice - either buy cocktail ice from a good bottle shop (look for Bare Bones at a few Dan Murphy's) or make lots of ice the day before and store in your freezer.
1 hour before guests arrive
Set the scene by laying out clean wine glasses. Into each one, pour 60ml of TANICA. This not only saves you time later, it also looks beautifully organised—a little preview of the afternoon ahead.
15 minutes before
Once you are all ready, add 90ml of chilled Prosecco to each glass. The sparkle lifts the native flavours of TANICA, creating a spritz that feels refreshing, vibrant, and effortlessly Australian. Hold off on the ice.
When guests arrive, all that’s left to do is fill a glass with ice and add a splash of soda and garnish if you like. No mixing on the spot, no waiting at the bar—just smooth, stylish hosting.
You'll be setting the tone for a relaxed yet special afternoon with a spritz in hand from the very first hello.
