Have you ever wondered how Aperol Spritz came to be such an integral part of aperitivo moments across the globe? The classic Aperol Spritz has been a brunch staple for me for several years but I have never stopped to think about how this iconic cocktail came to be and where it came from.

Whether I’m hosting friends or family, enjoying a light meal by myself, or having a cup of tea while I work, it’s without-a-doubt where I spend the majority of my time.
