History

Spritz in Venice are based on local wines, originally with Pinot Grigio or Soave being more popular than Prosecco (what's now known as a Venetian Spritz). My preference is with a Pinot Grigio.

Review

The style of "Spritz" I (yours truly) first encountered in Venice during my first visit in 2003.

Variations/similar cocktails

Venetian Spritz - with Prosecco sparkling wine in place of either Pinot Grigio or Soave still wines.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.
