referred to splashing seltzer with white wine. So, by definition I would say spritz has to have wine. In practice? Make (or market) a drink good enough, you can call it whatever you want and people will drink it. And only we who really care will be annoyed

Stash and I first encountered the A Spritz in Verona years ago. Every cafe table around the coliseum seemed to have a couple in it. We found a backstreet local bar and got the owner to teach us.

Cocchi Torino makes a wildly good Gin & It. Gin & Dubonnet is another must

Does this include fresh celery? It’s one of the few veggies Stash dislikes and she’d be thrilled

Stonehenge is an hour down the road. Been there once? Twice? Still haven’t visited Gloucester Cathedral.

I’m jealous of the sumac in US shops (and fields and gardens). In the UK and Europe, commercial sumac comes from North Africa and is salted, intended mostly as a poultry seasoning. So, it doesn’t work in drinks.
