Delola L'Orange Spritz
Delola L'Orange Spritz is Jennifer Lopez's take on the Italian spritz — a 10.5% ABV (21 proof) sparkling cocktail in a 750mL bottle, built on premium amaro with orange and passionfruit, real fruit juice, and natural botanicals. Developed with award-winning mixologist Lynnette Marrero and launched in April 2023 by the House of Delola (Lopez with Benny Medina, Ken Austin, and Jenna Fagnan; Beam Suntory is a minority investor), it pours bright and juicy with the bittersweet backbone of real amaro. Gluten free, 107 calories per serving. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Jennifer Lopez's Amaro Spritz
"Delola" is short for "from Lola" — Lopez's longtime nickname — and L'Orange is the amaro expression of her ready-to-serve line: an ode to the Italian spritz, more tropical than an Aperol Spritz thanks to the passionfruit and orange.

Tasting Notes
The brand's own words: "Sparkling cocktail with premium amaro, orange, and passionfruit. An ode to the Italian spritz with notes of bright, delicious fruit perfectly balanced with the bitterness of amaro." Retailer consensus adds a bright, juicy orange-and-passionfruit attack over a lightly bitter amaro backbone, gentle effervescence, fruity without going sweet, and a dry herbal-citrus fade — more tropical than a classic Aperol Spritz.
How to Enjoy
Well chilled, straight from the 750mL bottle over ice in a large wine glass — it's fully ready to drink. The bittersweet balance also stands up to a long pour over ice with a splash of soda for an even lighter aperitivo.
