Aperol Spritz
Origin
Veneto, Italy · 1950
Aperol was created by the Barbieri brothers in Padua in 1919; the modern 3-2-1 Spritz formula (Prosecco, Aperol, soda) emerged in the Veneto in the 1950s. Roots trace to 19th-century Habsburg-era Veneto, when soldiers asked locals to 'spritzen' water into wine.
