Bulgarian spritz is a refreshing cocktail with European charm and hints of Bulgarian pepper. Its history roots in the traditions of summer evenings when light and playful aperitifs create an atmosphere of tranquility.

Bulgarian pepper adds an unexpected spicy touch that makes the drink memorable. Served with ice and fresh mint for added freshness, this cocktail is perfect for summer gatherings, pre-dinner aperitifs, or simply enjoying vibrant flavor experiences.
