We’re immensely proud to share some sparkling news: our brand-new product, Spritcello, has just won the highest possible distinction – the Grand Gold Medal – at the prestigious Frankfurt International Trophy 2025 in Germany. With an impressive score of 93/100, this lemon creation ranks among the best international drinks of the moment.
For a young Swiss craft business like ours, receiving such an honor in the very first year of launching our premix is both a major professional recognition… and a real boost of motivation for what lies ahead!
A 100% authentic Swiss collaboration
Behind this success is much more than a drink: it’s a story of passion, dedication and partnership. Spritcello starts with a solid foundation – our family-made Limonceflo, lovingly crafted right here in the canton of Vaud. An artisanal limoncello that has already won international awards for its aromatic intensity, elegance and low sugar content.
But it’s also the result of a collaboration with a key player on the Swiss scene: Distillerie Louis Morand & Cie SA in Martigny. Thanks to the expertise of Arthur Vocat, a talented master distiller, we were able to create this bold, refreshing and simply delicious new product.
A reimagined Spritz… with a citrus twist!
Spritcello was created as a local, natural and innovative alternative to the famous Italian Spritz. It has an alcohol content of 15%, like Aperol or Campari, but with a signature all our own: an authentic lemon taste, bright and vibrant, enhanced with our own organic lemon juice, cold-pasteurized to preserve all its aromas.
And above all, true to our philosophy, Spritcello is less sweet than most premixes on the market. The result? A lighter, more balanced aperitif that lets the lemon shine through rather than the sugar.
Served very chilled, topped up with a little prosecco and a splash of sparkling water, one sip will transport you to a sunny terrace… somewhere between the Vaud Riviera and the Amalfi Coast.
A heartwarming endorsement
Launching a new product is always a bit of a leap into the unknown. We put everything into it: our energy, our convictions, our time (a lot of it), our sweat (sometimes lemon-scented), and our dreams. So when an independent international jury awards this product a Grand Gold medal, it’s an tremendous endorsement.
It proves that here in French-speaking Switzerland, we can create exceptional artisanal products that are competitive on a global scale, while staying true to values of authenticity, naturalness, and pleasure.
A sparkling future
This award isn’t an end in itself – it’s a beginning. A wonderful recognition, but also an invitation to introduce Spritcello to as many people as possible. Soon, you’ll be able to enjoy it at your favorite specialty food shops, favorite bars, and beloved hotels, and of course, at many upcoming events.
Thank you to everyone who believes in our lemony adventure. And above all, a huge thank you to Florian, our tireless founder, and Arthur Vocat, our dedicated partner. This award is the result of your hard work and your love of a well-made product.
Shall we raise a glass? 🍋🥂
Cheers, and here’s to the next chapter of the Spritcello adventure!
