Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Fill a large wine glass about three-quarters full with large ice cubes. Using large cubes slows dilution and keeps the drink colder longer.

2

Add Aperol

Pour 3 tablespoons (about 1.5 fl oz) of Aperol over the ice. Swirl gently to coat the ice and chill the Aperol briefly.

3

Add Prosecco

Slowly pour 3 oz of chilled Ruffino Prosecco into the glass. Pouring slowly helps preserve the bubbles.

4

Top with soda

Add 1 oz of chilled club soda on top. Adjust soda amount to preference for dilution and effervescence.

5

Gently combine

Give the drink one or two gentle stirs with a bar spoon or cocktail stirrer to integrate the layers without losing too much carbonation.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim or floated in the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer if desired.
