The Golden Hour Spritz is a light, effervescent, and fruit-forward cocktail. The apricot liqueur enhances the rich, honeyed peach flavours of the whisky, while the Lillet Rosé and fresh herb garnishes add a delicate floral and botanical finish. The addition of sparkling water makes it a highly refreshing, low-ABV-style tasting experience.

This cocktail was specifically created to showcase The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Provence Edition. The selective finish* in French sweet wine and Provence cru classe wine casks provides the perfect base of fresh peach, floral notes, and velvety richness required for this specific recipe. *a portion of the whisky has been finished in French sweet wine and Provence cru classé wine casks

Yes, it is an exceptional cocktail for hosting and dinner parties. Because it is a “built” cocktail—meaning you pour the ingredients directly into the glass without needing a cocktail shaker—it is incredibly quick and easy to make for groups. Its refreshing profile also makes it an ideal palate-cleansing aperitif to serve before a meal.

The crisp, effervescent nature of this spritz makes it highly versatile for food pairings. It cuts through rich and salty flavours beautifully, making it a perfect match for charcuterie boards, cured meats, soft French cheeses (like Brie or Camembert), and fresh seafood dishes commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine.
