Guests reaching in to clink their spritzes at the Sprizzini launch party in Mount Pleasant
Sprizzini
The launch party · on 35mm

A third floor,
three new taps
and a very good night.

Four in the afternoon until ten, with Rough Works. A line-up of drinks that had never been poured anywhere, a shelf of bottles nobody had seen, a DJ, a chalkboard and a room that stayed full until we ran out of reasons to stop.

What was
in the cups.

Three taps, a shelf of bottles, one very large tin of olives and more citrus than anyone planned for.

Salted Grapefruit Limoncello8% — Amalfi lemon with grapefruit and a salted rim’s worth of sea salt.
Tequila Hugo Spritz8% — Elderflower and mint, pulled sideways by blanco tequila.
Peach & Mango Lambrusco9.5% — Stone fruit over a dry, dark Lambrusco. The one that disappears.
The mystery shelfBottles — Limited releases, small batches and the odd non-alcoholic experiment. Not on tap, and not around for long.

Music

Liam

Ran the music from the first pour to the last one and is the reason nobody checked the time. Records as Pizzy.

The room

They gave us the whole third floor in Mount Pleasant — kitchen, patio, sound and all — and never once asked what the taps were for.

Want one in your room?

Pitch us
your thing.

We pop up — a handful of nights, in rooms we’d want to be in anyway. The taps, the pour list, the crew and the chalk all arrive with us and leave with us. Tell us about the room; if it fits, we bring the taps.

  • We read every one and come back quickly — yes, or not this time.
  • We don’t do weddings or corporate functions. Pop-ups only.
