The Venetian Spritz (also known as an Aperol Spritz) in Venice is more than a drink: it’s a symbol of conviviality and sharing. The absolute best way to enjoy this refreshing cocktail is by inviting your friends and preparing the famous Cicchetti, typical Venetian small plates and appetizers.

Tips:
- Aperol is the most widely available bitter liqueur; it is also the sweetest. If you prefer a more bracingly bitter spritz, try splitting Aperol with Campari (1:1).
- Use a rocks or wine glass.
