A Venetian Spritz is a classic cocktail perfect for sipping on a warm evening as the sun sets.
The combination of bitter Select Aperitivo, sweet Prosecco, and a splash of soda water makes for a refreshing and balanced drink.
What makes a Venetian Spritz different is the Select Aperitivo – a drink woven into the very fabric of Venice. It’s a powerful mix of 30 botanicals, including hints of juniper berries and rhubarb roots.
Here’s how to make a great Venetian Spritz:
- Start by filling a wine glass with ice
- Add three parts of Prosecco
- Next, add two parts Select Aperitivo
- Add a splash of soda water
- Give the drink a gentle stir
- Garnish the glass with a twist of orange peel
- Sit back, relax, and enjoy your Venetian Spritz!
Here’s a Bàcaro secret: To make the perfect Venetian Spritz, it’s important to use the highest-quality ingredients and a chilled glass. At Bàcaro, we take time to create our garnishes from scratch – this makes a world of difference in terms of flavour complexity.
The Venetian Spritz is a refreshing drink: floral, vegetal, woodsy, citrusy, and spicy. The orange peel garnish also gives the Spritz a nice touch, but you could garnish with olive for a different (more traditional) taste.
If you’re feeling adventurous, add a splash of Campari or Grand Marnier, giving the drink a richer flavour.
Enjoy your Venetian Spritz on a terrace or balcony with a sunset view. But remember, there’s no better place to enjoy a waterfront sunset than with your friends at Bàcaro! Sit back and enjoy a classic Venetian drink as you nibble delicious Cichetti and take in the waterfront view.
