Citrus Spritz Royale

This vibrant cocktail, known as the Citrus Spritz Royale, is a creation by bartender Julie Reiner, co-owner of the renowned cocktail bars Clover Club and Leyenda in New York City. It combines the smoothness of reposado tequila, the sweetness of Cointreau and St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, and the zing of blood orange and lime juices.
