Ahhhhh… the Spritz. The official drink of Venice, this cocktail is one of my all-time favorite beverages. Aperol has long been my go-to aperitif, (why is it still so hard to find outside of Italy?!?!) but I hadn’t experienced a true Spritz until I had one in Venice. The bright red cocktail casts off a fiery and inviting glow as Venetians sip them canal-side in the setting sun. Tart and sweet, refreshing and complex, the Spritz, with it’s low alcohol content, is perfect for brunch, lunch and all night long.
Here’s a great article about the Spritz from T Magazine.
