The Aperol Spritz traces its roots to northern Italy, where the spritz concept arrived during Habsburg rule and Aperol, created in 1919, turned it into the bright, bittersweet icon of the Italian aperitivo. What makes a great version is balance: crisp, chilled Prosecco, the orange-hued bitter sweetness of Aperol, a splash of soda for lift, plenty of big ice cubes, and an orange wheel for aroma. For home bartenders, the trick is simple—keep everything cold and add the soda last to preserve the bubbles and the drink’s lively fizz. If you need a bottle of Aperol or Prosecco, stop by Buffalo House Liquor and Wines and we’ll point you to the best options.
