A brief history of spritz cocktails
Spritz cocktails trace their roots to 19th-century Italy, where sparkling wines were diluted with water to create lighter, more sessionable drinks. Over time, they evolved to include liqueurs and sodas, giving rise to the vibrant variations we enjoy today. The Cherry Spritz brings a modern, premium twist to this tradition, with Gold Daddy Cherry Liqueur taking center stage.
