Wet City’s bar­tender Reed Cahill cre­ated the Spagett in 2016 when the bar opened. For 3 years it had a cult fol­low­ing with the reg­u­lars at Wet City. Fast for­ward to 2019 where Alex Delany wrote an arti­cle for Bon Apétit mag­a­zine pro­claim­ing the drink his new favorite sum­mer drink, and now we have the world­wide craze we see today.

The idea behind the drink is sim­ple. It’s an Aperol Spritz, but sub the Cham­pagne (or Pros­ecco to be accu­rate) for the “Cham­pagne of Beers”, AKA Miller High Life. It’s named after the Tim and Eric skit, Spagett, where a goofy Ital­ian dude jumps out from behind things to spook peo­ple. The thought is that an Aperol Spritz is a fancy Ital­ian drink, where the Spagett is a lit­tle bit more low­brow and fit­ting to the Char­ac­ter por­trayed by Tim Hei­decker.

AND word got back to Tim about the drink and he tried it for the first time with his dad on social media!

Spagett

• 3/4 fresh squeeze lemon
• 3/4 Aperol
• Miller High Life

Pour out a decent amount of High Life to cre­ate space and then add the lemon and Aperol to the High Life bot­tle. That’s it!
