READ MORENothing says summer quite like a refreshing spritz enjoyed in the sunshine, and we’ve put together a collection of seasonal favourites that are perfect for long lunches, garden get-togethers and relaxed evenings at The Swan and in our charming Cotswold pub garden.
Whether you’re a fan of the classics or looking to try something new, our Summer Spritz Menu has something to suit every taste.
Swan Sparkling Picante
Our take on the much-loved Picante Margarita, this sparkling version combines zesty citrus, a touch of chilli and sparkling fizz for a refreshing cocktail with a subtle kick. It’s bright, vibrant and made for sunny afternoons.
Aperol Spritz
A timeless Italian classic. Aperol, sparkling wine and soda come together to create the perfect balance of bittersweet orange flavours and refreshing bubbles. Light, crisp and effortlessly drinkable.
Raspberry & Rhubarb Spritz
A fruity twist on the traditional spritz, blending the sweetness of ripe raspberries with the gentle tartness of rhubarb. Refreshing, colourful and perfect for summer.
Hugo Spritz
Fresh, floral and wonderfully light, the Hugo Spritz combines elderflower and prosecco for a refreshing cocktail that’s ideal for warm days in the garden.
Limoncello Spritz
Bright, citrusy and unmistakably Italian, our Limoncello Spritz delivers the fresh zing of lemons balanced with sparkling wine and soda for a crisp, sunshine-filled serve.
Campari Spritz
For those who enjoy a more bittersweet aperitif, the Campari Spritz offers bold citrus notes with a sophisticated finish. Refreshing, elegant and perfect before dinner.
