Method
Cocktail
Chill and prepare glass
Select a large wine glass (or stemmed glass). Fill the glass generously with ice to thoroughly chill the bowl; swirl briefly to cool the glass, then leave the ice in place.
Build the spritz
Pour 3 parts Aperol over the ice. Add 2 parts chilled Prosecco, pouring gently down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles. Top with 1 part chilled soda water. (If using a jigger, a common conversion is 3 oz Aperol, 2 oz Prosecco, 1 oz soda for one serving.)
Stir gently
Use a bar spoon to gently stir once or twice to combine — avoid vigorous stirring to keep the drink effervescent.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with one fresh orange slice placed on the rim or floated in the glass. Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
