About the Strawberry Spritz
The spritz family. The spritz is said to date from Austrian rule in north-east Italy in the 1800s, when soldiers added a splash ("spritzen") of water to the local wine. Bitter aperitivo liqueurs and sparkling wine were added in the 20th century, and the spritz became a global summer drink in the 2000s.
