Bruco, the Italian-inspired neighbourhood favourite in the heart of Ancoats, has launched a vibrant new Summer Spritz Menu designed to bring a burst of Mediterranean flavour to Manchester’s sunniest season.
Celebrating classic Italian ingredients with a modern twist, the new spritz line-up features four signature serves: Sarti, Hugo, Limcello, and the ever-iconic Aperol – each served with Bruco’s unmistakable style and laid-back energy.
The Summer Spritz Line-Up
Sarti Spritz
A bold, bittersweet take on the classic aperitivo. Sarti Rosa – a ruby-hued aperitif made with hibiscus, orange peel and botanicals – is paired with prosecco and fresh citrus for a striking serve that balances floral complexity with vibrant fizz. It’s deep pink, big on flavour, and built for slow sipping in the sun.
Hugo Spritz
Refreshing, floral and effortlessly cool – the Hugo is a Northern Italian favourite that’s perfect for Manchester’s summer afternoons. Elderflower liqueur is gently mixed with mint, lime and prosecco for a green, garden-fresh spritz that’s crisp, aromatic and beautifully balanced.
Limcello Spritz
A true taste of the Amalfi coast. Limoncello – bright, zesty and just the right amount of sweet – forms the base of this ultra-refreshing spritz. Topped with prosecco, this sunshine-filled serve is undeniably sippable. Think lemon groves, clinking glasses and big summer energy.
Aperol Spritz
The icon. Aperol’s unmistakable blend of bitter orange, herbs and vanilla meets prosecco and soda for a drink that needs no introduction. Slightly bitter, perfectly bubbly and finished with an orange slice – no summer menu is complete without this timeless classic.
Founder, Ethan Harvey, said: “It’s the kind of menu that makes you want to stay for ‘just one more’. Each spritz has its own vibe – whether you’re after something punchy, citrusy or super fresh, there’s a drink here with your name on it. You’ll find a bit of sunshine, a bit of bite, and a lot of flavour in every glass.”
With its open terrace and feel-good food menu, Bruco is the ideal spot to catch golden hour over glasses of something sparkling. The new spritz menu complements Bruco’s seasonal sharing plates and reflects the team’s love for relaxed, social dining.
