According to the legend, on October 5 1842, András Fáy, a central figure of Hungary’s reform age, invited Mihály Vörösmarty (an iconic Hungarian poet) and a few other friends to his wine cellar in Fót. One of the accompanying friends happened to be Ányos Jedlik, the inventor of consumable soda water, who had one of his latest inventions with him: the world’s first soda siphon.
It’s not too hard to guess what happened next.
Jedlik, to the amazement – and enjoyment - of fellow guests, prepared the ancestor of all glasses of fröccs, and christened it spriccer (spritzer).
Mihály Vörösmarty didn’t like this German-ish term, and soon came up with the now well-known word fröccs.The favourite drink of stuffy summer nights has always been closely related to neology, with the proofs being the fantasy-rich names of the many mixtures made of soda water and wine: kuka fröccs (trashcan spritzer - wine at night, soda water in the morning), góré fröccs (boss spritzer, Bruce Springsteen's favourite), and Deák-bólé (Deák-spritzer), just to name a few. Choose as you wish, then drink a toast to fröccs!
