Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Chill glass and ingredients
If possible, place a large wine glass or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and cold water while you prepare other items so the drink stays cold longer. Ensure Prosecco and club soda are well chilled.
Add ice
Fill the chilled wine glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes. Using plenty of ice keeps the drink properly cold and preserves the effervescence.
Pour Aperol
Measure and pour 3 oz Aperol over the ice. Pouring first helps the Aperol settle and makes it easier to build the drink.
Top with soda
Add 1 oz chilled club soda to top the cocktail. Adjust soda up to 1.5 oz if you prefer a lighter, less sweet spritz.
Stir gently
Give the drink one or two gentle stirs with a bar spoon to integrate ingredients without knocking out too much carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with one fresh orange slice placed on the rim or floated in the drink. Optionally add a green olive or a twist of orange peel. Serve immediately while effervescent.
