The Spritz 43 adapts the light, effervescent aperitif format — most associated with northeastern Italy — to showcase one of Spain's most iconic liqueurs. When the Zamora family launched Licor 43 in Cartagena in 1946, the underlying logic of the spritz format was already well-established across European café culture: an aromatic spirit lengthened with sparkling wine and soda water. As Licor 43 expanded internationally through the 1970s and 1980s, the brand encouraged experimentation with the liqueur as a mixer, and the Spritz 43 emerged as a natural aperitif variation that trades the Italian bitterness of an Aperol Spritz for Spanish vanilla warmth. The result is a lighter, sunnier take on the sparkling format.
