Did You Know?
The orange liqueur-based cocktail known as the “Spritz” originates from the Veneto region of Italy. It is a highly refreshing drink, especially popular during the Italian summer. Its history dates back to the 19th century, when the region was occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Austrian soldiers, accustomed to heavier wines, began diluting them with sparkling water to make them lighter and more refreshing. Later, orange liqueurs like Aperol or Campari were added to provide extra flavor and color. Today, the Spritz is a classic staple of Italian culture, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
