About the Spritz
A spritz is an Italian wine-based cocktail, commonly served as an apéritif across Italy. It consists of Prosecco, a mixer, and a flavouring ingredient, which can be a bitter liqueur, a bitter apéritif, an amaro or a syrup. The original spritz veneziano uses the bitter apéritif Select as its flavouring ingredient and was created in Venice in 1920. Popular variants include the Aperol spritz, Martini vermouth spritz, Campari spritz, and Cynar spritz, which use Aperol, Campari, and Cynar as flavouring ingredients.
