The story behind Nullarbor Spritz
Dry vermouth and grapefruit make this Nullarbor-inspired spritz lean and faintly bitter, with sparkling wine adding lift. It is a low-key sunset drink for the end of the road day—once the driving is finished.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
