SPRITZ IN A BOTTLE

› Baltimore bartender Reed Cahill named his beery twist on the Aperol Spritz the Spagett, after a recurring character on the sketch comedy series The Tim and Eric Awesome Show . It’s often spelled Spaghett these days, but, since it’s such a super-chill and casual drink, spell it how you want—no big deal.

Ever since a genius bartender in Baltimore added Aperol and lemon juice to Miller High Life—and served this modified Spritz right in the bottle—alternative spritzes have been trending. It’s easy to understand why, since, whether they’re made from beer, ready-to-drink cocktails or canned wine, these laid-back concoctions are perfectly refreshing, easy to make, lower in alcohol and budget-friendly. It’s finally possible to have it all.
