Citizen Spritz is reinventing adult drinks with concentrated spritz mixes that are ready to be combined with sparkling or soda water. These expertly crafted mixes make refreshing aperitif-style beverages with a focus on ease, flavor and alternatives to alcohol.
The company was born out of a desire for drinking in moderation but food industry entrepreneurs Mark Gould and Mike Bagshaw found that so many of the current options on the market were unsatisfying. Bagshaw recounted, "We tried so many mocktails and non-alcoholic spirits, but most were sickly sweet, with no complexity or depth of flavor. We thought that we couldn’t be the only ones looking for a satisfying ‘in-between’ drink that wasn’t a compromise."
The Citizen Spritz range includes Bitter Orange, Cool Lime, Pink Grapefruit and Passion Fruit.
