Venice: 1-Hour Spritz Time Experience – Venice, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Discover Spritz, the classic Venetian aperitif, a mix of white wine, Aperol, and seltz or sparkling mineral water. This sunset-colored cocktail is one of the most famous in Venice. Its origins are unknown, but it seems that they dated back to when Venice was under the Austrian Empire. Austrians, used to drinking beer with a lower alcoholic percentage, used to dilute the Venetian wines with seltz or sparkling water. The name Spritz came from the German verb spritzen which means to spray.

Spritz is the iconic Venetian cocktail. Meeting friends for a spritz is one of the most popular Venetian habits. The perfect pause between work and dinner, to catch up without having to commit to a full evening together.

Enjoy this wonderful Venetian habit in this fabulous bacaro, the so-called Venetian pub. Ask for a Spritz with Aperol (the sweetest), Spritz with Select (bitter), with Campari (bitterer) or with Cynar (strong taste, only for old Venetians).
