Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Fill a large wine glass (or an Old Fashioned glass if preferred) with 6 large ice cubes to chill the glass and keep the drink cold.
Add Aperol
Pour 2 oz chilled Aperol over the ice. Pouring the bitter component first helps keep the Aperol from immediately mixing fully and preserves color layering.
Top with club soda
Add 1 oz chilled club soda on top to brighten the drink and add effervescence. Give the drink one gentle stir (about 1–2 slow rotations) to integrate ingredients without flattening the bubbles.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with 1 fresh orange slice placed on the rim or floated in the glass. Serve immediately while fizzy.
