Vorrei uno spritz

While sitting outside one of the bars that line the perimeter of Piazza Duomo in Trento, you'll start to notice that at almost every table there is someone sipping a refreshing-looking orange drink. A spritz is a combination of the italian aperativo, Aperol (though there is also a version made with Campari), and the italian sparkling wine, Prosecco, on ice. A seemingly extremely popular beverage, there is also a non-alcoholic version called Gingerino, which is available in supermarkets, too. Oh, and by the way, uno spritz, I am told, is always served with potato chips.
