Over the past two decades, the Aperol Spritz has gone from holiday staple to American warm-weather icon — and it’s not hard to see why. The ratios are easy, the color pops on Instagram, and even the most reluctant cocktail drinker will say yes to bubbles and orange slices. But is there more to the Spritz than just aesthetics and low-stakes refreshment? To help us explore that question, we’re joined by Brynn Smith of LA’s Bar Next Door.  Listen on (or read below) for Brynn's recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!
