1
Chill glass
If possible, place a large wine glass or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to ensure the finished spritz is nicely chilled.
2
Add base and juice
Remove the glass from the freezer (or discard ice water) and fill it about two-thirds full with fresh ice (roughly 1 cup). Pour 2 oz Bella Aperitif and 1 oz fresh orange juice over the ice.
3
Top with sparkling
Slowly add 3 oz Oddbird Sparkling to the glass. Pour gently over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve effervescence.
4
Finish with soda
Add 1 oz soda water to lighten and lengthen the cocktail. Stir gently once with a bar spoon (1–2 slow rotations) to combine without flattening the bubbles.
5
Garnish and serve
Garnish with an orange slice or a thin orange twist clipped to the rim. Optionally slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aromatics and tuck it beside the orange. Serve immediately.
