Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Herbs

    In a small bowl or glass, combine the dried lavender, fresh sage leaves, and fresh thyme sprigs. Muddle gently to release the essential oils from the herbs.

  2. 2

    Combine the Base Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the muddled herb mixture along with 2 oz of Aperol and 1 oz of Bianco vermouth. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the cocktail mixture into a chilled glass or coupe to remove the herb pieces.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Top with Prosecco

    Slowly pour 4 oz of Villa Sandi Prosecco over the strained mixture in the glass. Allow the bubbles to rise and mix gently with a bar spoon.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the spritz with a fresh sage leaf and a sprig of lavender for an aromatic touch.
