Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
If possible, chill a large wine glass or collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and set aside while you prepare ingredients. Discard chilling ice just before building if you used ice to chill.
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass about two-thirds full with large ice cubes. Large cubes melt more slowly and keep the spritz crisp.
Measure aperitivo
Pour 2 oz Sapelo Aperitivo into the glass over the ice.
Top with bubbles and soda
Slowly add 3 oz chilled Prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine), pouring gently to preserve effervescence. Follow with 1 oz chilled club soda to lighten the drink and create the classic spritz texture.
Stir gently
Use a bar spoon or long spoon to gently stir the drink once or twice (about 3–4 rotations) to integrate the aperitivo with the sparkling wine and soda without flattening the bubbles.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with an orange slice on the rim; optionally add an orange twist or a small sprig of mint for aroma. Serve immediately while fizzy.
