📜 History

The Sherry Spritz is a modern aperitif built on the same Italian spritz framework popularized by Aperol Spritz, adapted to showcase fino sherry's distinctive savory, saline character. While the Italian spritz traces its lineage to 19th-century Austrian soldiers diluting northern Italian wine with water or soda, the sherry version emerged more recently as bartenders and wine professionals began promoting fino and manzanilla sherries as versatile, food-friendly alternatives to heavier aperitif spirits. The combination of fino with prosecco and a dash of orange bitters became a staple on Spanish-inspired wine bar menus across Europe and North America from the 2010s onward.
