Avocado toast deserves more than just coffee. The creamy richness of smashed avocado needs something bright and acidic to cut through all that luscious fat, and the Green Morning Spritz does exactly that with style.
This fizz brings together citrus-forward gin, tart grapefruit, and lemon juice for serious brightness, while Lillet Blanc adds a subtle floral note that keeps things interesting. The celery bitters are the secret weapon here, echoing those fresh, green, almost vegetal flavors in your avocado without being heavy-handed about it. When you top it all with Prosecco, you get a drink that's refreshing enough to cleanse your palate between bites but complex enough to hold its own against whatever you've piled on that toast (cherry tomatoes, everything bagel seasoning, a runny egg, we're not judging).
Pour this when you're hosting weekend brunch or treating yourself to a lazy Saturday morning. The herbal thyme garnish and grapefruit twist make it look as good as it tastes.
