The Signore Spritz Show, by Amuse Booze

There is far more to the Spritz than Aperol.

The Signore Spritz Show by Amuse Booze is an afternoon celebration of aperitivo culture, exploring how one simple idea — bitters, bubbles and soda — became one of the world’s most recognisable drinks.

Across the session, you’ll taste your way through the past, present and future of the Spritz, discovering a range of bitter, botanical and aperitivo-led flavours alongside carefully matched sparkling wines including Prosecco, Cava and Crémant.

Each round brings together an aperitivo, bubbles and soda in a different way, giving you a dual tasting experience that explores not only the finished Spritz, but also how the individual components shape aroma, flavour, texture and balance.

Expect bright flavours, plenty of fizz, fascinating stories and a suitably relaxed afternoon atmosphere.

About the Experience

Your Amuse Booze host will guide you through the history and evolution of the Spritz, from its roots in northern Italy to the colourful, highly creative category it has become today.

You’ll discover how bitterness, sweetness, acidity and carbonation work together, why different sparkling wines can completely change a serve, and how sodas and mixers play a much bigger role than simply topping up the glass.

Along the way, you’ll taste contrasting aperitivo styles, compare Prosecco, Cava and Crémant, and explore how modern producers are taking the Spritz in new directions.

Selected matched nibbles will accompany the experience, helping to highlight the flavours in each serve and bringing a little extra aperitivo spirit to the afternoon.

What Might Be in Your Glass?

The exact line-up will form part of the show, but you can expect a journey through very different interpretations of the Spritz.

You might encounter:

• The Classic – bright, bittersweet and refreshing, showing why the traditional aperitivo formula works so well
• A Prosecco-led Spritz – soft, fruity and lively, built around Italy’s most famous sparkling wine
• A Cava variation – drier and more structured, giving the drink a different kind of freshness and texture
• A Crémant serve – elegant and refined, showing how traditional-method bubbles can completely change the style
• The New Wave – contemporary aperitifs, unexpected botanicals and flavours pointing towards where the Spritz category might go next

The final serves may vary depending on availability, but each will be selected to showcase a different side of the Spritz and aperitivo world.

More Than Aperol

The Spritz looks simple.

A little aperitivo. A little fizz. A little soda.

But change any one of those ingredients and you can create something completely different.

The Signore Spritz Show pulls the drink apart and puts it back together again, giving you the chance to compare aperitifs, sparkling wines and sodas side by side before seeing how they come together in the glass.

It’s bright, bitter, bubbly and unapologetically made for the afternoon.

Salute.
