1
Prepare glass
Fill a large wine glass generously with ice. Using large cubes or a single large sphere keeps the drink colder longer and prevents rapid dilution.
2
Add Aperol
Measure and pour 3 tablespoons (approx. 1.5 fl oz) of Aperol over the ice, allowing it to settle around the cubes.
3
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 3 oz of chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pour gently down the side of the glass to help layers remain slightly distinct and to preserve carbonation.
4
Top with soda
Add 1 oz of chilled soda water. Pour gently to combine without flattening the bubbles.
5
Stir gently
Use a bar spoon to stir once or twice with a gentle upward motion to combine Aperol, Prosecco, and soda while keeping effervescence.
6
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a fresh orange wheel on the rim or floated in the drink. Serve immediately while chilled and effervescent.
