The Spritz cocktail has emerged as a dominant summer beverage trend across Europe. In France, market data from May 2025 indicates the Spritz overtook the Mojito to become the most ordered cocktail, accounting for approximately 24.2% of cocktail revenue. While the Mojito remains a consumer favorite in preference surveys, the Spritz’s success is attributed to its ease of service and its profile as a lighter, sweeter-bitter option.

This trend has expanded across European summer terraces, including hotspots in Amsterdam. In addition to the traditional Aperol Spritz, new variations like the Sarti Spritz—which uses a liqueur made with blood orange, mango, and passion fruit—are gaining popularity. This shift reflects a broader consumer preference for refreshing, lower-alcohol beverages during the summer season.
