Aperol Spritz
Method
Aperol Spritz
Chill glass and ingredients
If possible, chill your wine and Aperol ahead of time. Fill a large wine glass with ice cubes to chill the glass for 10–30 seconds, then discard some or leave the ice in the glass per preference.
Build the drink
Add ice to the prepared wine glass until it's about three-quarters full. Pour in 3 oz Aperol first (this helps integrate flavors without excessive fizz).
Add sparkling wine
Slowly pour 2 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass at an angle to preserve bubbles and avoid overflow.
Top with soda
Add 1 oz soda water gently on top to lift and brighten the drink. Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 turns) with a bar spoon to combine — avoiding vigorous stirring to keep carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Place an orange wheel on the rim or float it in the glass. Serve immediately while sparkling.
