Spring in Philadelphia has a very specific kind of energy—the first hints of warmth, the buzz of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Flower Show, and that collective itch to get out of winter mode and into something brighter. That’s the vibe Restaurant Aleksandar is tapping into with the Sip Snip Spritz Soirée, an early-season celebration that feels equal parts elegant and effortlessly social. Restaurant Aleksandar is welcoming the season with a floral-forward evening in partnership with Peroni.
Sip Snip Spritz Soirée Sets the Scene for Spring
Taking place Friday, March 6, from 5 to 7 p.m., the Sip Snip Spritz Soirée is timed perfectly alongside the Flower Show, when the city is already in a full-bloom state of mind. The concept blends Restaurant Aleksandar’s signature Eastern European hospitality with the crisp, bubbly sensibility of Italian aperitivo culture, creating an event that feels like a soft launch for spring’s best habits—fresh flowers, refreshing drinks, and a little extra time spent lingering with friends.
The Sip Snip Spritz Soirée event is interactive in the best way. Guests will craft their own floral arrangements during the event, turning the evening into something you don’t just attend—you take home. It’s a hands-on nod to the season of renewal, and it pairs naturally with the relaxed, celebratory atmosphere that defines early spring in the city.
Sip Snip Spritz Soirée Cocktails and Bites to Match the Mood
Of course, the “spritz” part of the Sip Snip Spritz Soirée is doing some heavy lifting here—and Peroni is coming in strong with event-exclusive pours that feel bright, playful, and built for that first patio-weather mindset. The cocktail lineup includes the Amore Rosso, made with Peroni, lemon, raspberry, and Fever Tree Club soda, a drink that reads like a Valentine’s Day encore but tastes like March optimism.
Then there’s the Italian Holiday, a classic-leaning combo of Peroni, Aperol, and Fever Tree Pink Grapefruit soda, delivering that bittersweet sparkle you want when you’re ready to trade heavy winter drinks for something lighter and snappier. Rounding out the trio is the Fiore Spritz, built with Peroni, St. Germain, lemon, Fever Tree Club soda, and fresh mint—floral, crisp, and basically the liquid version of stepping into the first warm day of the year.
As you sip, Restaurant Aleksandar will keep the table energy strong with a curated selection of passed Eastern European bites. Expect a variety of Mekiks, those warm, satisfying favorites that always disappear first, alongside Monika’s Pierogi, because a spritz tastes even better when there’s something comforting and craveable in the mix. It’s a pairing that makes sense: bright, bubbly cocktails balanced by rich, familiar bites—exactly what you want when the season is shifting.
Sip Snip Spritz Soirée Tickets and What You Get
The Sip Snip Spritz Soirée is priced at $40 per ticket, and the value is built in. Each ticket includes all florals for your arrangement and one complimentary spritz to enjoy during the event, with the rest of the cocktail experience and bites shaping the evening into a full-on mini escape from the workweek. It’s the kind of early evening plan that still leaves you plenty of time afterward—whether you turn it into a full Rittenhouse night out or take your flowers home and call it the perfect start to the weekend.
If you’ve been craving a spring reset without waiting for the weather to fully cooperate, the Sip Snip Spritz Soirée is the move. It’s creative, seasonal, and distinctly Philly—rooted in the Flower Show moment, powered by thoughtful hospitality, and finished with a spritz in hand and flowers you made yourself.
