Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a large wine glass or rocks glass in the freezer for 5 minutes or fill it with ice and water to chill while you prepare ingredients.
Prepare orange
Roll the orange on the counter with the palm of your hand to loosen juices. Cut one half of the orange in half again. Reserve one half for a wheel or twist garnish; squeeze approximately 1/2 ounce to 3/4 ounce fresh orange juice from the other half.
Build the spritz
Discard the ice/water from the chilled glass if used and fill the glass about 3/4 full with fresh large ice cubes (enough to leave minimal air space). Pour in 2 oz NOA Italian Aperitivo, then add the freshly squeezed 1/2 oz–3/4 oz orange juice.
Garnish and serve
Float or place an orange wheel on the rim (or make a thin orange twist and express its oils over the drink then drop in). Serve immediately with a short straw if desired.
Garnish (optional)
For an orange twist: use a vegetable peeler to remove a 1/2-inch wide strip of zest, avoiding too much pith. Hold it over the drink and give it a firm twist to express oils, then drop it into the glass or clip to the rim.
