Aperol Spritz (per serving)

Method

Aperol Spritz Assembly

1

Chill glass

If possible, chill a large wine or stemmed glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.

2

Add ice

Fill the chilled glass generously with ice cubes so the liquid will stay cold and the proportions will remain stable as the ice melts.

3

Measure Aperol

Pour 3 parts Aperol over the ice. For a typical single serving, that is about 3 ounces (90 ml) if using ounces — use consistent measuring (parts can be 1 oz per part or any other consistent measure).

4

Add Prosecco

Slowly pour 2 parts chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pour gently so you preserve bubbles and avoid excessive foaming.

5

Top with soda

Add 1 part chilled soda water (club soda) to the top. Adjust slightly to taste if you prefer a fizzier or lighter drink.

6

Stir gently

Give the drink one or two gentle stirs using a bar spoon (or a long spoon) to combine the ingredients without flattening the Prosecco's bubbles.

7

Garnish and serve

Garnish with one fresh orange slice on the rim or dropped into the drink. Optionally add an orange twist, a green olive, or a sprig of rosemary for a different aroma. Serve immediately.
