“Rumors persist of a spritz so profoundly effervescent that one sip can send the imbiber bubbling to the heavens. Is this that spritz? No one has survived the journey to say.”

“The first time someone ordered this from me I thought they had sneezed. So, I gave them a regular Negroni and a box of tissues. It’s like I always say: Oops!”
