A brief history of spritz cocktails
The spritz traces its roots to 19th-century Italy, where Austrian soldiers diluted local wines with soda water. Over time, it evolved into a sparkling cocktail tradition, incorporating liqueurs and dry wines. The Strawberry Spritz takes this beloved Italian concept and infuses it with a fresh, berry-forward twist, making it an elegant and playful addition to any occasion.

How to make it
- Chill a wine glass or large tumbler for a refreshing serve.
