How to make Spritz? And who doesn't know or has never sipped a Spritz? Since 2011 also known as Venetian Spritz by the IBA, the international bartenders association, it is undoubtedly the most famous alcoholic long drink in Italy together with the Negroni.
This cocktail originated in the Veneto region, and from there it spread the ritual of the Italian aperitif, first throughout Italy and then around the world. Its origins date back to the 1800th century, when in the Kingdom of Lombardy-Veneto, Austrian troops would dilute local wines, which they considered too strong, with a splash of sparkling water. The name Spritz comes from spritzen, the German term describing this custom! Did you know?
