Ingredients

Cocktail

Preparation

Cocktail

1. Prepare glass

Select a large wine glass (or an old-fashioned glass). Fill the glass generously with ice so the drink stays chilled and the bubbles last longer.

2. Combine Aperol and bitters

Pour 2 oz Aperol into the ice-filled glass. Add 2 dashes of Watkins orange bitters directly on top of the Aperol.

3. Add Prosecco

Slowly pour 3 oz La Marca Prosecco (or dry sparkling wine) into the glass. Pouring slowly helps preserve carbonation and creates a nice mix without needing to stir vigorously.

4. Top with soda

Add 1 oz soda water to lighten the cocktail and add a refreshing finish. If you prefer a slightly less fizzy drink, reduce to 0.5 oz.

5. Gently combine

Give the drink one gentle stir (1–2 turns) with a bar spoon to combine Aperol, Prosecco and soda without knocking out too much effervescence.

6. Garnish and serve

Garnish with one fresh orange slice placed on the rim or floated in the glass. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
