Spritzes,关键字2 made of sparkling wine, soda water, and amaro, have become synonymous with summer in the United States, and for good reason: They’re light, cold, fizzy, aromatic, and just alcoholic enough. Bright orange Aperol, via Italy, might be the base of choice for most spritz-loving Americans, but I’m here to tell you that there are far more interesting liqueurs to mix into your favorite summer drink.

For the feeling of a warm-weather walk in the woods, try combining wine and soda with Chios mastiha, distilled from sugar and pine resin on a Greek island. Or how about a Super Punch Spritz, fueled by the “Italian Jägermeister” said to convey hints of bubblegum and Robitussin? The history buffs among us might sip on a spritz made of génépi, a Texan distiller’s take on the secret recipe for green Chartreuse that he reconstructed from ancient monastic texts.

Whatever your inclination, there’s a curious tipple for you, and with it, a refreshing way to enjoy it with sparkling wine on a summer day. Spritz up your spritzes with some of our favorite fascinating liqueurs.
