An Aperol Spritz, commonly just called Spritz, is an Italian wine-based cocktail. It is also known as Sptitz Veneziano and consists of Aperol, Prosecco and soda water.
Aperol is the main ingredient here and was created in Padua in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers. It’s made of gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, among other ingredients and has a vibrant orange hue, which is why it is often popular during the summer. Its name comes from “apero”, the Italian slang word for aperitif.
The Aperol brand has been acquired by the Campari Group in 2003 and since then the brand has been becoming more and more popularity.
