The Frizzantino Spritz Aperitivo Happy Hour is a ready-made cocktail drink available in Italian supermarkets. Spritz is prepared with prosecco wine, some bitter liqueur such as Aperol, Campari, Cynar or Select. The drink is then topped off with sparkling mineral water. Since this is a ready drink mixture, one can't expect much of it but let's give it a go.
Taste: The Frizzantino Spritz Aperitivo Happy Hour is a light/medium-bodied beverage with a bitter, yet quite sweet body. The beverage also features a distinct taste of wine. It's easy to drink and reminds me of alcohol and soda mixtures such as Bacardi Breezers, the main difference being the bitterness of this drink. The drink finishes with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Overall, the Frizzantino Spritz Aperitivo Happy Hour is an OK drink. It doesn't come anywhere near the actual cocktail, but then again the sweetness of it makes it easier to drink than the real deal. Personally I'm not a big fan of the bitter alcohols and that's why the sweetness of this drink actually counts as a good thing. If you judge this drink in the category of alcohol and soda mixtures, and you don't compare it to actual Spritz (because that would be like comparing a restaurant meal to a microwave dinner), it's actually relatively good. If you're into slightly bitter drinks and want to buy a drink straight from the supermarket, this one's your choice. Don't expect anything close to the real deal, and instead expect a sugary soda version of it and you'll be fully satisfied.
3/5
