Aperol Spritz, I. B.A.
SEE ALL LESSONS

The Aperol Spritz, created by the Barbieri brothers in 1900, in response to a light Aperol-based pre-dinner, achieved global success so much so that it was included in the lists of the IBA (International Bartenders Association) with the name "Venetian Spritz ” thanks also to ingredients such as prosecco and a splash of soda or seltzer. Unmissable at aperitif time.

The history of the Spritz was born from a complaint, a misunderstanding and an invasion over 200 years ago. Today it is the king of aperitifs throughout Italy, because it is fresh, colorful and not too alcoholic, an ideal late afternoon drink to be enjoyed in company with some appetizers. There is probably a very specific year in which the cocktail became a national and international symbol, 2008, with TVs across Europe invaded by the Campari commercial. The modern recipe is made up of Prosecco, seltzer and bitters: but this was not originally the case.
