Beschreibung

A narrative-driven book on the surprising history and current revival of spritz cocktails (a wine-based drink served as an aperitif), with 50 recipes, including both historical classics and modern updates.

From Milan to Los Angeles, Venice to New York, the spritz Italy s bitter and bubbly aperitivo cocktail has become synonymous with a leisurely, convivial golden hour. But the spritz is more than just an early evening cocktail it s a style of drinking. In Spritz, Talia Baiocchi and Leslie Pariseau trace the drink s origins to ancient Rome, uncover its unlikely history and culture, explore the evolution of aperitivo throughout Northern Italy, and document the spritz s revival around the world. From regional classics to modern variations, Spritz includes dozens of recipes from some of America s most lauded bartenders, a guide to building a spritz bar, and a collection of food recipes for classic Italian snacks to pair alongside.

2017 JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION BOOK AWARD NOMINEE: BEVERAGE

Some of the most pleasant hours I ve ever spent have involved sipping spritzes, nibbling from little bowls of olives or potato chips or whatnot, and watching the life of whatever Italian town I m in go by as the waiter lazily circles around to see if I d like another. Spritz is the perfect introduction to that unique culture.
David Wondrich, author of Imbibe! and Punch

These brilliantly illustrated pages deliver a supremely approachable account of the spritz while unveiling the deeper meaning of the drink one that flows far beyond its flirty fizz. Spritz offers a beautifully rendered portrait of an iconic cocktail, an indispensable

guide for channeling the spirit of Italian cocktail culture at home, and a drop-dead gorgeous visual experience.
Katie Parla, co-author of Tasting Rome

The book is compact (it would live nicely atop a crowded bar cart), beautifully illustrated, and filled with anecdotes and recipes for classic takes as well as more modern iterations from top bartenders.
