1
Chill and prepare glass
Chill your wine or balloon glass by placing it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and let sit 30 seconds, then discard that ice. This helps keep the spritz cold without diluting it quickly.
2
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes. Using plenty of ice maintains a crisp temperature and preserves the bubbles.
3
Pour Aperol
Measure and pour 3 oz Aperol over the ice. Pouring Aperol first helps it settle and makes it easier to layer the Prosecco gently.
4
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 2 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pour gently down the side or over the back of a bar spoon to retain effervescence and create a pleasant layered look.
5
Top with soda
Add 1 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water on top to lengthen the drink and add brightness. Adjust volume to taste if you prefer a lighter spritz.
6
Stir gently
Using a bar spoon, stir the drink once or twice gently to combine Aperol, Prosecco, and soda without removing too much carbonation.
7
Garnish and serve
Garnish with 1 fresh orange slice on the rim or dropped into the glass. Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.

8
For a slightly sweeter spritz, add 1/4 teaspoon simple syrup before stirring. For a larger glass, increase Prosecco by 1 oz and club soda by 1 oz; keep Aperol at 3 oz for balance or increase to 4 oz for a stronger bitter note.
