Born in Venice, the spritz was popularized during the rule of the Austrian Empire. It was inspired by Austria’s “spritzer,” which was crafted from equal parts white wine and sparkling water. Over time, various liquors and bitters were added to the drink, which created the famed, neon-orange colored cocktail.
