1
Prepare glass
Fill a large wine glass (or rocks glass) generously with ice cubes so the glass is about three-quarters full. Chilling the glass slightly before assembling helps keep the cocktail cold longer.
2
Add Aperol
Pour 3 oz Aperol over the ice. Pouring first over ice helps the aperitif chill and creates a base layer.
3
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pouring gently preserves carbonation — tilt the glass slightly and pour down the side if you want fewer bubbles.
4
Top with club soda
Add 1 oz chilled club soda to give a light, effervescent finish. Stir gently once with a bar spoon (one or two slow turns) to combine without flattening the Prosecco.
5
Garnish and serve
Slip one fresh orange slice onto the rim or into the drink as garnish. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
