Aperol Spritz traces its roots to the 19th-century Habsburg spritz and became the sunny Italian favorite we know after Aperol debuted in Padua in 1919 and rose to popularity across Veneto mid-20th century. What makes a great Aperol Spritz is bright balance: bitter-sweet Aperol, crisp prosecco, and a splash of soda served over plenty of ice so it stays refreshing; a classic ratio to aim for is 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part soda. Practical tip: use well-chilled prosecco and a large wine glass, build gently and stir once so the bubbles stay lively. Swing by Buffalo House Liquor and Wines in Tonawanda for bottle recommendations.
