Aperitivo. And it’s not summertime til you’ve
clinked balloon glasses of the bubbly, bittersweet drink. Long before the orange drink took over Instagram — approximately 200 years before — Italians were enjoying Aperitivo hour with a timeless Spritz.

By the 1920s, the Spritz had gained its telltale orange hue, and by the 1950s, grown into a cocktail recipe of orange-flavored Italian liqueur and Prosecco, topped with sparkling water.
