I taste-tested the icon’s buzzy new “Delola” brand of low-alcohol spritzes. Not to be too hyperbolic, but one of them ranks among the greatest beverages I’ve ever imbibed, writes Coleman Spilde.
before I took up my post here at The Daily Beast’s Obsessed.) But after a tepid release, it was relegated in the press to the dreaded “buzz single” graveyard, and Lola was never heard from again.
There are three, low-calorie, low-alcohol flavors in the Delola spritz line: Bella Berry, made with premium vodka; L’Orange, crafted with premium amaro; and Paloma Rosa, which was not so much created with premium tequila as it was sent down from the heavens on a golden stream of light, twinkling in God’s divine love. Each flavor is 111 calories or less per serving, and ranges from 10.5-percent to 11.5-percent alcohol by volume.
Though I wouldn’t mind Bella Berry if it were my only option, my minor aversion to it made me hesitate when moving over to the Paloma Rosa, Delola’s tequila-based spritz. I had let the remaining two flavors chill before trying them, following mother’s orders. Paloma Rosa incorporates hibiscus and grapefruit, two notes I adore, so my expectations were lofty. To my surprise, delight, and utter elation, Paloma Rosa is probably the single best ready-to-drink cocktail I’ve ever had in my life.
After Paloma Rosa raised the bar to unimaginable heights, I was left with my final offering: L’Orange, the amaro-based spritz. To say Iamaro would be to only skim the surface. I know I look 19, but I’m actually on the verge of 29, and I don’t really mess with hard liquor much anymore. Alcohol consumption is a sipping experience, and I love a nice, low-alcohol, full-bodied, fruity amaro.
