National Spritz Day Offers Drink Deals Across the Country
National Spritz Day, celebrated on Saturday, August 1, features special pricing on the refreshing cocktail at various bars and restaurants nationwide.
National Spritz Day arrives on Saturday, August 1, with numerous establishments across the United States offering special deals on the popular Italian aperitif. The occasion provides an opportunity for consumers to enjoy the refreshing beverage at reduced prices.
The core of a spritz consists of three components: prosecco, a bitter Italian aperitif, and soda water. The standard recipe follows a 3-2-1 ratio, meaning three parts prosecco, two parts aperitif, and one part soda water, served over ice. The drink's origins trace back to the 1800s in Italy's Veneto region, where soldiers diluted local wines with a "spritz" of water. The recipe for the Aperol Spritz was formalized in the 1950s.
