The Aperol Spritz traces its roots to Northern Italy in the early 20th century. Aperol itself was first crafted in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers in Padua. The 'spritz' tradition, however, goes even further back, originating with Austro-Hungarian soldiers who diluted Italian wines with a splash of water. The classic Aperol Spritz as we know it—Aperol, Prosecco, and soda—became an aperitivo staple in the 1950s and has since become a symbol of Italian leisure and style, enjoyed worldwide.
