The Aperol Spritz and French 75 have made their way into mainstream cocktails as two of the top sparkling beverages. Perfect for Champagne and Prosecco lovers alike, these two cocktails are refreshing and sophisticated. Each box contains ingredients to make four servings of each cocktail. The Aperol Spritz is a bubbly-and-bitter cocktail that has been an Italian favorite for decades. Though Aperol itself didn't come into being until 1919, the idea of a spritz has been around for much longer. The name appears to trace back to the 1800s in when portions of the Veneto region of northern Italy were controlled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Visitors and soldier from other parts of the empire were said to have found Italian wines too strong and so lightened them with a splash (a "spritz," in German) of water. The French 75 cocktail dates to World War I, and an early form was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris—later Harry's New York Bar—by barman Harry MacElhone. The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun, but is well-balanced with herbaceous notes from the gin, a pleasant citrus tartness from the lemon juice, and a hint of sweetness from simple syrup.
