As soon as the bubbles rise into the neck, he yanks off the cork, and a cap of dead yeast cells shoots out. He spins the bottle to tamp down the fizz and turns it upright.

It derives from the German word spritzen, which means “squirt.” These are etymology-driven facts made indisputable by linguists and the nearest dictionary. Apply the word “spritz” to the context of cocktails, though, and all hell breaks loose. When the concept originated in the late 19th century, making a Spritz meant adding a splash of water to wine.
