"Spritzer" is derived from the variant of the German language spoken in Austria, where the drink is very popular. It is used alongside the equally common form "Gespritzter" (mostly pronounced "G'spritzter", a noun derived from the past participle of "spritzen", i.e. squirt), a term also found in some German regions, such as Hessen (e.g. "Süssgespritzter", i.e. a "sweet spritzer" using fizzy lemonade instead of soda water ("Sauergespritzter")). In most of Germany, the word "Schorle" is used to denote a Spritzer.
