Spritz: Italy's Most Iconic Aperitivo Cocktail, with Recipes

A narrative-driven book on the surprising history and current revival of spritz cocktails (a wine-based drink served as an aperitif), with 50 recipes, including both historical classics and modern updates.

From Milan to Los Angeles, Venice to New York, the spritzâ€”Italyâ€™s bitter and bubbly aperitivo cocktailâ€”has becomeÂ synonymous with a leisurely, convivial golden hour. But theÂ spritz is more than just an early evening cocktailâ€”itâ€™s a styleÂ of drinking. In Spritz, Talia Baiocchi and Leslie Pariseau traceÂ the drinkâ€™s origins to ancient Rome, uncover its unlikely historyÂ and culture, explore the evolution of aperitivo throughoutÂ Northern Italy, and document the spritzâ€™s revival aroundÂ the world. From regional classics to modern variations,Â Spritz includes dozens of recipes from some of Americaâ€™sÂ most lauded bartenders, a guide to building a spritz bar,Â and a collection of food recipes for classic ItalianÂ snacks to pair alongside.
