Every year, it feels like there are multiple claimants to the title of “drink of the summer.” For the fancy, maybe 2025 is the year of the Hugo spritz. But if your finances are a little more stretched, which a lot of people’s are, you might be opting for this year’s more economical option: the Spaghett. Also known as the NASCAR spritz, the hobo Negroni, or the trailer park spritz, the drink consists of a bottled beer — often a Miller High Life — topped up with a splash of Aperol and maybe some lemon juice (a lot of people don’t bother with the last bit). It’s a way to fancy up your drink without fancying up the price tag too much. And the Spaghett’s popularity has been on the rise, as more drinkers feel increasing pressure on their wallets. Recession indicator? Maybe. Let’s call it the recession Aperol spritz.
