The Aperol Spritz came about in 1919, however the original Spritz was born in the 1800s during the reign of the Habsburg Empire in Veneto. Soldiers were not used to the higher alcohol content of local wine and asked for a spritz of water to be added to the wine.

The Bamboo was later published in Thomas Stuart’s book, Stuart’s Fancy Drinks and How To Mix Them in 1904. It was largely forgotten until the 2000’s, when several New York bars brought the cocktail back into the public’s eye.
