Summer or winter, if you are in Italy you can’t not go out and take a spritz. Have you ever drank it? Did you know it wasborn in Italy? And do you know why it is called that? Let’s see what is the famous Italian spritz and how to prepare it.
It is said that the soldiers of the Austrian Empire during the Venetian domination of the nineteenth century used to dilute the Venetian white wine that they considered too strong with water. In fact, in German the term “spritzen” means “to spray” and in fact recalls the action of adding water.
The famous Italian cocktail was born between the 20s and 30s of the last century between Padua and Venice when Aperol and Select were born, two low-alcohol aperitifs.
In the 1970s, Spritz began to become one of the most famous drinks ever. In 2019 it entered the Olympus of the best-selling cocktails in the world, according to the ranking prepared by Drinks International.
