Aperol Spritz is the breezy Venetian aperitivo that rose from 19th-century Habsburg spritzes and was refined in Veneto with Aperol after 1919, becoming Italy's summer signature. What makes a great Spritz is a clean balance of bright, bitter Aperol, dry Prosecco, a splash of soda, plenty of ice and a fresh orange wheel — aim for the classic 3:2:1 ratio and use chilled, quality ingredients so bitterness and bubbles sing. Practical tip: chill your glass and all ingredients ahead, add the soda last and stir gently to keep effervescence. If you're in the Buffalo area, stop by Buffalo House Liquor & Wines in Tonawanda for ingredient picks and friendly advice.
