spritz

Quick perfume burst

Spritz means to spray or squirt liquid in short bursts: She spritzed perfume on her wrists, Spritz the plants with water.

As a noun, a spritz is such a burst of liquid.

The word comes from German and carries a light, casual feel—you spritz rather than douse.

A spritz can also be a cocktail made with prosecco, bitter liqueur, and soda water, especially an Aperol spritz.
