Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Select a large wine glass or a stemmed balloon glass. Add 4 large ice cubes or enough ice to chill the glass well (about 4 pieces).
Add Aperol
Pour 2 oz Aperol over the ice. This is the bitter-sweet base of the Spritz.
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass at a slight angle to preserve bubbles and encourage gentle mixing. Pouring slowly prevents excessive fizz.
Top with soda
Add 1 oz chilled soda water to top the cocktail and lighten the texture. Adjust soda to taste if you prefer a less boozy, more effervescent drink.
Gentle stir
Using a bar spoon or the handle of a spoon, give the drink one or two gentle stirs — just enough to integrate the ingredients while retaining carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with 1 wheel of orange on the rim or floated in the glass. Optionally add a green olive or a small sprig of rosemary for a savory twist. Serve immediately while chilled and fizzy.
