History & Origin

The aperitif spritz tradition of combining a base spirit with sparkling wine and soda has deep roots in European drinking culture. Dill-forward Scandinavian aquavits are particularly well suited to the format, as their herbal freshness mirrors the botanical notes found in many Italian aperitivo blends. The Nordic Spritz has grown in popularity alongside the global craft aquavit movement of the 2010s and 2020s.
