    Prepare the Glass

    Start by chilling a large wine glass or an oversized tumbler. You can do this by filling it with ice water for a few minutes or placing it in the freezer.

    Next, add 2 oz of Aperol to the glass over the Prosecco.

    Incorporate Bitters

    Add a dash of orange bitters to the mixture in the glass.

  5. 5

    Top with Sparkling Water

    Gently pour 2 oz of Topo Chico sparkling mineral water into the glass, allowing it to mix lightly with the other ingredients.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Finish the drink by adding a slice of pink grapefruit on the rim of the glass or floating it in the drink as a garnish.
