the Spritx cocktail has passed in a couple of years from local aperitif to a national phenomenon.
Noted only in Veneto until the new millenium, from this year an Aperol advertisement has launched the cocktail as a success and variations are emerging from barman to barman across the nation.
In Trento you can find it with the Ferrari spumante, while in Rovereto it is also made with prosecco (another sparkling white wine).
With a dash of Bitter Campari or Cynar you also have your bitter and more alcoholic version.
In Alto Adige and Trieste, the spritz is served in the traditional Austrian style with white and water, and no colouring added.
In case this hasn’t satisfied your curiosity to try them all, in Florence you can drink it with Martini Rosso.
Below is a recipe for one version – for others, you can leave it to your imagination.
Ice to the the brim of the glass, you can never have enough ice.
The first two thirds of the glass are filled with Aperol and white wine (in 1/3 and 2/3 proportions), then fill the rest of the glass with soda water.
