About Spritz
Spritz is a classic Italian cocktail originating from the Veneto region, often enjoyed as part of an aperitivo or social gatherings. The drink typically includes prosecco, a bitter liqueur like Aperol or Campari, and sparkling water, served over ice, with a slice of orange. Nutritionally, Spritz is low in calories compared to other mixed alcoholic drinks, containing around 60 calories per serving with negligible macronutrients (protein, fats, or fiber). While it provides minimal nutritional value, its light profile makes it a popular choice in moderation during festivities or meals.
Health Benefits
- Provides a lower-calorie alternative to heavier cocktails (60 calories per serving compared to standard cocktails that may exceed 150 calories).
- Contains no fats, making it less likely to contribute to dietary fat overconsumption during social drinking compared to cream-based alcoholic drinks.
- The carbohydrate content (5.33 grams per serving) is moderate, maintaining energy intake balance for most individuals.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Serve immediately after preparation; ensure prosecco and sparkling water are chilled for optimal taste. Refrigerate opened prosecco to retain carbonation, but consume within 2-3 days.
