The spritz is a classic recipe. You can use any aperitif to make one, but when in Venice, the Venetians prefer their own special twist on the Aperol Spritz. The Venetian Spritz uses Select Aperitif Liqueur. Select was created in 1920 in Venice at the Pilla Distilleries. Select uses over 30 botanicals in its blend, including juniper berries and rhubarb root. The rhubarb root gives it that distinct reddish hue that distinguishes it from other Italian liqueurs.
