Aperol Spritz
Method
Aperol Spritz
Chill glass and ingredients
If possible, chill the wine glass and the prosecco in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes beforehand. Ensure the prosecco and soda water are well chilled.
Add ice
Fill a large wine glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes (about 1 cup). This keeps the drink cold and preserves the delicate bubbles.
Pour prosecco
Pour 3 oz of chilled prosecco into the glass over the ice. Pour gently to retain bubbles.
Add Aperol
Slowly add 2 oz of Aperol. Pouring it after the prosecco helps create a layered look and mixes gently without losing too much effervescence.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with one fresh orange slice placed on the rim or floated in the drink. Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
