Where to Enjoy a St‑Germain Spritz Summer
Sipping Through Summer
It’s Spritz season. As Summer turns up the heat, there’s nothing like a refreshing spritz to cool you down.
Whether you’re an aficionado or a curious newcomer, here are some of the best places around the world to enjoy a St‑Germain Spritz Summer.
Italy
Venice, Of Course
Venice is the perfect spot to savor a St‑Germain Spritz outside as you watch the gondolas glide by.
Naturno, Italy
A small village along the Italian-Austrian border, Naturno is where our beloved Hugo Spritz originated. Roland Gruber, a bartender in Northern Italy crafted the Hugo Spritz and changed the spritz game forever. Visit the scenic mountain town as you sip on its classic cocktail.
On a boat, in Italy
Make it a European adventure and hop over to the Amalfi Coast or Cinque Terre to sip by the coast or on the water.
France
Paris
Paris in the summer is magical, with its sidewalk cafés, lush gardens, and romantic ambiance. Enjoy the Parisian charm with a St‑Germain Spritz in hand.
South of France
Known for its glamorous beaches and picturesque towns, the South of France is an ideal setting for a St‑Germain Spritz. Head to Nice or St. Tropez to take in the stunning views and a chic ambiance while you relish in every sip.
New York, NY
In the concrete jungle, rooftop bars offer a tranquil escape and striking skyline views. This urban oasis provides the perfect backdrop to enjoy your favorite summer drink.
Your Own Backyard
Experiencing a St‑Germain Spritz Summer doesn’t require a passport. Afterall, it’s not about where, but who you spritz with. Simply gather your squad in your backyard, favorite park, or picturesque park and craft up a St‑Germain Hugo Spritz of your own.
