Did you already know?

Hardly a cocktail and yet too important to be overlooked: The spritzer is the grandmother of all wine cocktails, from the Tinto de Verano to the Aperol Spritz.

The stories about the origin of Schorle are obscure. It is thought to have originated in Austria, Germany (where it is called Schorle) or Hungary (where it is called Fröccs) - but in any case in the mid-1800s, when carbonated water was the new trend.
