Spritz Veneziano
Before Aperol became the global default, Venetians made their spritz with white wine and a splash of seltzer. This version uses blanc vermouth alongside Aperol for a more herbaceous, complex result than a straight Aperol Spritz. The cassis version from Burgundy is a completely different drink — this is the original Venetian aperitivo. Serve with an olive on the side — the savory contrast is part of the Venetian tradition.
