Aperol Spritz (per 1 cocktail)
Batch (4 cocktails)
Method
Aperol Spritz (per 1 cocktail)
Chill glass
Place a large wine glass or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to chill the glass.
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes.
Pour Aperol
Measure and pour 4.5 oz Aperol over the ice.
Add Prosecco
Gently pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pour slowly to preserve bubbles; pouring over the back of a spoon helps if desired.
Top with soda
Add 1 oz soda water to top the cocktail and give a light lift. Adjust a little more or less soda to taste.
Stir gently
Use a bar spoon to stir gently 3–4 times to combine ingredients without flattening the bubbles.
Garnish & serve
Garnish with one thin orange slice on the rim or floated in the glass. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
Batch (4 cocktails)
Chill
Chill a large pitcher and the bottles of Prosecco and Aperol in the refrigerator until cold (at least 20–30 minutes).
Combine Aperol and Prosecco
In a chilled pitcher, combine 18 oz Aperol and 12 oz Prosecco. Stir gently to mix.
Add soda when serving
When ready to serve, add 4 oz chilled soda water to the pitcher and stir gently once to combine. For maximum fizz, you can instead top each glass with 1 oz soda individually.
Serve
Fill each glass three-quarters full with fresh ice. Pour the mixture evenly into the four glasses. Garnish each with an orange slice and serve immediately.
