There is a little ritual that takes place before dinnertime, when friends meet in the bars and clubs of Lake Garda to socialize and relax. The protagonist of this convivial moment is the Spritz, the typical aperitif usually served on this occasion. More and more tourists have become familiar with this typical Italian custom and love to sip this aperitif that is not only refreshing drink, but is also the perfect accompaniment to lively conversation or quiet contemplation of the sunset on lake Garda.

The Spritz is a very popular aperitif in northeast Italy, where it has existed for over a century. While there are countless variations, the traditional recipe is 5 parts Prosecco wine, 3 parts Aperol, and 2 parts sparkling mineral water, stirred and poured into a tall glass with ice and garnished with a slice of orange. This simple cocktail is simply delicious and perfect before dinner, accompanied by a few traditional snacks.

So, before dinner, make sure you stop at a bar and order a Spritz while you plan where to dine that evening in any one of the picturesque restaurants on the lake. As you decide whether to opt for local fresh-water fish, meat, or pizza, the Spritz will help you pass the time as you recall the enjoyable events of the day or think of the many things to see and do on the lake during your holiday.
Cheers!
