Spritz cocktails continue to be one of the biggest cocktail trends, and the viral Sarti Spritz is quickly becoming a happy hour favorite. From the classic Aperol Spritz to refreshing Hugo and Limoncello variations, discover why spritz cocktails remain so popular and which ones you should try next.
As summer transitions into fall, one cocktail trend continues to shine: the spritz. Light, refreshing, and easy to customize, spritz cocktails have become a favorite at restaurants, backyard gatherings, and happy hours across the country.
While the Aperol Spritz helped spark the trend, new variations are giving cocktail lovers even more reasons to raise a glass. One of the newest and fastest-growing favorites is the Sarti Spritz, a vibrant cocktail that’s making waves on social media and cocktail menus everywhere.
What Is a Spritz?
A spritz is a simple cocktail traditionally made with three ingredients:
- A bittersweet aperitif
- Prosecco
- Club soda
Served over ice with a citrus garnish, spritz cocktails are known for being crisp, refreshing, and lower in alcohol than many mixed drinks. They’re perfect for warm afternoons, happy hour, brunch, or relaxing on the patio.
