Spritz: Italy`s Most Iconic Aperitivo Cocktail

From London to Venice, New York to Milan, the spritz has become synonymous with sipping cocktails in the sunshine on long summer evenings. So it`s no surprise that this iconic Italian aperitif is experiencing a revival around the world. But where did it all begin? Intrigued by the rise of the spritz, Talia Baiocchi and Leslie Pariseau set out on a road trip from the wine bars of Venice to the old gilded cafes of Turin to reveal how it evolved from a local ritual into Italy`s most popular cocktail. They discover that the spritz isn`t just its colourful history of prosecco, bitter liqueurs and aromatized wines, but an attitude, a custom and a way of life. In Spritz, they share the classics sampled on their journey as well as recipes from the world`s most renowned bartenders. These are the very best spritzes and a window into crowded piazzas and Italian cocktail culture. With traditional, modern and experimental alternatives, a guide to building a spritz bar, and a collection of food recipes for traditional Italian snacks, happy hour starts here.
