It’s one of the world’s most popular cocktails, and now the vibrant spritz is getting its own dedicated week of celebrations, thanks to Select Aperitivo, the key ingredient in the original Venetian Spritz.
Alice is located basement level in the heritage-listed, former bond stores at 16 Argyle Street. The elegant cocktail bar is the newest addition to Hunter St. Hospitality’s portfolio of premium restaurants and bars.
“The Spritz is one of those simple cocktail templates which provide endless opportunities for riffs for imaginative bartenders. You just need a little bitter, a little sweet, and the all important bubbles.”
“A spritz is always effervescent. Whether its bubble is acquired through soda water, prosecco, some other sparkling wine, or a flavored soda, the spritz would not be a spritz without buoyancy.” – Spritz, Italy’s Most Iconic Aperitivo Cocktail
Lillet (originally Kina Lillet), was created in Bordeaux in 1872. By the 1930s it had started to embed its place in France and the USA as the drink to celebrate with, around the same time the aperitif or bitter wine stepped into the Spritz in Italy.
There’s a lot of great aperitivo and Spritz-style drinking going on at Si Paradiso.
