Notes

The Expert Tip: "The Savory 2025 Garnish"
The biggest trend for 2025 is the 'savory spritz.' Instead of just an orange slice, add a castelvetrano olive or a sprig of fresh rosemary. The saltiness of the olive or the woodiness of the herb cuts through the bubbles and makes the drink feel more like an appetizer in a glass.
