Cliona O’Connor shows us how to make her signature gin spritz

As part of our Malfy Cocktail Evenings in association with IMAGE, Irish influencer Cliona O’Connor will demonstrate how to make a ciao malfy spritz. One sip and you’ll taste pleasant notes of lemon, blueberries and aranciata.

Zesty lemon with fresh basil and blueberries – this ciao malfy spritz is made with fruits that deliciously complement citrus gin.

It simply mixes aranciata (sparkling orange drink), fruit and gin, making it an ideal cocktail for those who like to keep things simple and not too sweet.

We recommend using Malfy Con Limone, which marries the finest sfusato lemon peels from coastal grown Italian lemons with premium gin.
