The tangerine-tinged Aperol Spritz may be all over social media and Italian streets these days, but the summertime standard has been fashionable since as far back as the 1970s. According to Food & Wine, the cocktail’s visibility in the United States started growing after the Campari group acquired Aperol in 2008. Your standard Spritz is made with three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol (bitter-sweet liquor) and a splash of soda water. It’s best served in a hefty wine goblet with a slice of orange dangling from the rim.
We’re not here to dis this spring and summertime standard. But if you’d like to expand your happy hour horizons on your next trip to Italy (or enjoy a taste of the bel Paese from afar), try one (or all six) of these intoxicating and classic cocktails instead.
