A Friendly Aperitif for Nice Days
Summer is just around the corner, bringing the desire to share good times outdoors. Whether it’s on a terrace, in a garden, or by the beach, it’s the perfect time to enjoy an aperitif outside. Light and refreshing aperitifs are especially appreciated during these cheerful moments. Among them are classics like kir, mojito, sangria, caipirinha, or simply a glass of chilled white wine. But to add a touch of originality to your evenings, why not try a new variant of the Spritz?
The Spritz: An Essential Drink
Of Italian origin, the Spritz is very popular in the northern regions of Italy, particularly in Venice and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This cocktail made with prosecco, sparkling water, and Aperol or Campari is often served in a large glass filled with ice. Garnished with an olive or a slice of lemon, the Spritz is a drink that is both light, refreshing, and slightly bitter. It’s the perfect choice for an aperitif on a terrace, by the sea, or at any other relaxing moment with friends or family.
