Spritz Cocktails
Originating in Northern Italy, the spritz cocktail typically combines sparkling wine with a bitter ‘amaro’ such as Aperol, Campari or Cynar, finished off with splash of soda water and served long over ice. The result is a drink that combines effervescence, bitterness and zestiness in each delicious sip. Mixologists have naturally taken this foundation and experimented to produce different variations from tangy citrus-based spritzes to fruity and floral combinations. Here are 35 recipes for deliciously refreshing spritzes, including highballs, sodas and mocktails.
