The Venetian Spritz, or Spritz Veneziano, is a Spritzer with the addition of a Bitter Liqueur/Apéritif. The drink was invented in Venice, Italy in the 1920’s when a Spritzer was combined with Select (a Bitter Liqueur invented in Venice). The Select Spritz was the more popular version of the drink until the 1950’s, when the Aperol Spritz became the Venetian Spritz of choice. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
