Originally, it was a simple blend: Austrian soldiers settled in Veneto lightened the local wines with a spritzen<\/em> (from the German verb "asperger") with sparkling water. This gesture gave its name to the famous Italian cocktail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Over the years, the recipe was refined. Bitter liqueurs such asAperol<\/strong> or the Campari<\/strong>, a touch of sparkling wine (Prosecco), and always this effervescence which makes it a refreshing drink<\/strong> par excellence.<\/p>\n Today, the Spritz is much more than a cocktail: it is the symbol of a Mediterranean art of living, made of conviviality and relaxation in the sun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Spritz has crossed generations, adapting to each era.<\/p>\n In the 1920s, it became a landmark of Venetian and Trieste caf\u00e9s. The 1950s saw the rise of the Campari Spritz<\/strong>, more bitter, before Aperol became the flagship ingredient in the 1980s. Finally, in the 21st century, its international explosion made it a must-have on trendy terraces, rooftops and summer beaches.<\/p>\n Today it appears on the menus of bars and restaurants all over the world, from Japan to the United States, without ever losing its Italian identity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The success of the Spritz is based on three major assets:<\/p>\n No wonder it's now the favorite summer cocktail and a classic urban aperitif.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If theAperol Spritz<\/strong> remains the most iconic, the cocktail has been adapted to appeal to all palates:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These variations confirm that the Spritz is a cocktail in perpetual reinvention, capable of adapting to current trends and tastes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is the traditional recipe for Aperol Spritz, as recommended by Italian bartenders:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bartender's Tip:<\/strong> Use chilled Prosecco and quality sparkling water to maintain the effervescence. Do not add a straw in keeping with Italian tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spritz is rarely enjoyed on its own. It pairs perfectly with savory snacks and Mediterranean dishes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This food and cocktail pairing extends the Italian experience and makes it a great choice for an aperitif with friends or an after-work drink.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Spritz goes perfectly with mezzes offered at Solis<\/a> at the restaurant in the evening and at the bar all day. It goes perfectly with fried anchovies with semolina and crushed tomatoes, the traditional pan con tomate, as well as the quick tortilla.
