Verbena Spritz Recipes

In its glory days, Venice sent out its fearsome fleet to conquer international trade. Today, a gentler envoy has conquered international cocktail menus: the spritz. The fizzy aperitif is made with a choice of Aperol, Campari or Cynar along with white wine and sparkling mineral water.

This drink is sweet, bitter, citrusy and sparkling - even slightly salty - but with minimal punch. It is a graceful way to begin an evening, and a thing of perfection on a sultry afternoon. The spritz can be made several ways, but the best and most common is simply a glass of prosecco with two or three ice cubes and a dash of sparkling water, topped with Aperol, a twist of lemon or slice of orange and - importantly and strangely - one green olive. The drink also can be made with white wine and sparkling water, and Campari or Cynar turn up in some varieties, but the spritz a l'Aperol is the benchmark, and handily trumps the others.
