Spritz

A spritz is a refreshing, sparkling cocktail made with wine or prosecco, a dash of bitters, and a splash of soda water. The classic spritz recipe is said to have originated in Italy, and there are many variations of this popular summertime drink.

The original spritz recipe is thought to date back to the 19th century, when it was created in the Veneto region of Italy. This refreshing cocktail was traditionally made with a white wine or prosecco, a dash of bitters, and a splash of soda water. The classic spritz is still popular today, and there are many variations of this refreshing summertime drink.

A popular variation of the spritz is the Aperol spritz, which is made with Aperol, a bitter orange liqueur, prosecco, and soda water. This refreshing cocktail is perfect for summer sipping, and can be enjoyed on its own or as an aperitif before a meal.
