have done the spritz - big fan
for my home drinking (or any time I'm mixing) I use club soda/sparkling to cut the flavor intensity and increase the volume. So my latest creation is the "That Wiggle" named in honor of Johnny Majors' (notable bourbon drinker and VFL) description of Johnny Jones (1st Vol 1000 yard back and favorite player while in school at UT) running style. Bourbon, Aperol, lemon juice, San Pelegrino and some Angostura for good measure. A Big Orange cocktail for the Vols. (generally a 16 oz tumbler full of crushed ice). I don't care if no one else likes it - they're wrong.
