About the Aperol Spritz
Descended from 19th-century Italian wine-and-soda drinks, but the Aperol Spritz format specifically was heavily marketed by Aperol's own parent company from the 2000s onward — worth noting the commercial push alongside the older regional tradition.

Notes
Pour Aperol first for even mixing with one stir. 3-3-1 ratio is easy to remember and scale. Pairs well with olives or charcuterie.
