But have you ever wandered when the Spritz was invented?
This typical Italian cocktail was probably born in the area of Venice back in the XIX century. Although its origin is still cloudy, it is believed that the soldiers of the Austrian Empire, who were then quartered in Venice, used to pour fresh water in white wine to make the alcohol content lighter. At the beginning of 1900, soda water substituted fresh water and this particular mixture became a wide known and largely appreciated long drink called “Spritz”. Over the years, the drink had been enriched thanks to a variety of different combinations like Aperol and Campari liquors or China Martina and Cynar bitters.
The classic recipe of Spritz needs prosecco or champagne wine, a dash of some bitter liquor such as Aperol or, especially in Venice, Select. The glass is topped off with sparkling mineral water and it is served over ice in a lowball glass, garnished with a slice of orange or olive.
All you have to do now is to taste it!
