The Spritz is one of the emblems of sunny summer aperitifs, with a fresh and sparkling taste that suits any appetizer you have in mind to prepare and has always met everyone’s taste.
The history of this Aperitif Cocktail, is quite ancient and seems to go back to the Austrian soldiers who, stationed in Veneto, diluted its wine with sparkling water. The name therefore derives from the Austrian word “spritzen” meaning spritze, indicating the final addition to the cocktail of sparkling water.
The Cocktail Spritz as we know it today, on the other hand, dates back to the early ‘900s when Aperol was inaugurated in the city of Padua at a fair. So this is the Original Recipe of the Spritz, prepared with the Aperol and thus with a slight bitter aftertaste that pleasantly caresses the palate with its fresh fizzy notes.
