Aperitivo All’Italiana

The Spritz cocktail has origins dating back to the Austrian domination in Lombardy-Veneto
between the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Initially, Habsburg soldiers found Venetian wines too strong for their palates and decided to dilute them with carbonated water, a practice considered sacrilegious by true wine lovers. This cocktail gets its name fom the German verb “spritzen,” meaning “to sprinkle.” It originally consisted of white wine and carbonated water, following the Austro-Hungarian model. In some regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia, this is still the traditional Spritz.
The cocktail evolved in the early 1900s with the introduction of siphons for Seltzer water
as an alternative to sparkling water. However, the modern Spritz as we know it today developed in the 1920s when it was mixed with a touch of bitter.Aperol contributed to the development of the drink afer its creation in
1919 and it is globally recognized as the main ingredient of the drink, as confirmed by International Bartender Association
