The best Aperol Spritz in Amsterdam
Our Aperol Spritz follows the classic Italian recipe: three parts prosecco, two parts Aperol, a splash of soda, plenty of ice and a slice of orange. We work with fresh ingredients, chill our glassware and serve every spritz the way it is meant to be in Venice — bittersweet, refreshing and perfectly balanced. No shortcuts, no syrups, just real Italian aperitivo. That is why people who care about a proper spritz in Amsterdam city centre choose Spritz Bar by the canal.
“Not just a drink. A moment.”
Italian aperitivo — by an Amsterdam canal.
