About the Recipe
This Venetian staple is thought to have originated in the 19th century when Austro-Hungarian Empire soldiers occupied the region. Unaccustomed to the bold wines from the Veneto’s warm climate, they diluted them by adding a bit of water. They called these drinks spritzes, derived from the German word spritzen, meaning “to spray”.
