1
Prepare glass
Fill a large wine glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes so the glass is well chilled and there is room for ingredients and garnish.
2
Pour Aperol
Measure and pour 3 oz Aperol over the ice. Pour gently against the ice to keep it from splashing too much.
3
Add Prosecco
Measure and slowly add 3 oz chilled Prosecco. Pour slowly to preserve bubbles and to layer liquids evenly.
4
Top with soda
Add a splash (about 1 oz) of chilled soda water to lighten the drink. Adjust quantity to taste—less for stronger, more for lighter and bubblier.
5
Garnish and serve
Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine (lift and stir through the center 1–2 times). Garnish with one orange wheel placed on the rim or floated in the glass. Serve immediately with a short straw if desired.
