Spring drinking is defined by precision and freshness. Citrus becomes sharper, herbs appear more often in the glass, and sparkling wines return to the center of the table.
It is the season when the bar shifts toward clarity and brightness, favoring drinks that feel crisp, balanced, and quietly celebratory.
