“I wanted to create an Italian-inspired French 75 for our opening menu—something low ABV and refreshing without being boring,” says Marie Artale, owner of Patron Saint, which opened last summer in Cleveland’s trendy Ohio City neighborhood. “I think herbal or vegetal elements in cocktails, like the basil syrup here, add balance without overcomplicating a drink. And it’s crucial to start with a limoncello and Prosecco that you would enjoy drinking on their own. The beauty of a spritz is its simplicity, but you have to start with good ingredients.”
