The Spritz's origins can be traced back to the 1800s when the Veneto region of Italy was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Soldiers stationed there found local Italian wines too strong and began diluting them with water ('spritzen' in German, meaning 'splash'). This practice evolved over time, leading to the addition of sparkling wine and bitter liqueurs.

The Aperol Spritz is characterized by its bittersweet orange flavor profile, effervescence, and refreshing qualities.
Aperol provides the core bittersweet orange flavor, complemented by herbal notes. Prosecco adds dryness, fruity aromas (apple, pear), and fizz. A splash of soda water softens the overall intensity and enhances the drink's refreshing nature. The orange slice garnish contributes a citrusy aroma and visual appeal.

The 3-2-1 Ratio
A classic ratio is 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, and 1 part soda water, but adjust to your preference.
Chilled Ingredients
Ensure all ingredients (Prosecco, Aperol, and soda water) are well-chilled before mixing for optimal refreshment.
Garnish Matters
Always garnish with a slice of orange to enhance the aroma and visual appeal. A green olive is sometimes added as well.
Ice Ice Baby
Use plenty of ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing without diluting it too quickly. Large ice cubes are preferable.
