Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Choose a large wine glass (or rocks glass). Fill the glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes to chill the glass and keep the cocktail cold.
Build the drink
Pour 3 oz chilled Prosecco into the ice-filled glass first. This helps preserve the bubbles and creates a better mixing base.
Add Aperol
Slowly pour 2 oz Aperol over the Prosecco so the layers remain visually appealing. Pouring slowly helps maintain some effervescence.
Top with soda
Add 1 oz chilled soda water to lighten the cocktail and add a gentle fizz. If you prefer a slightly less strong cocktail, add up to 1.5 oz soda.
Gently stir
Using a bar spoon or long spoon, give the drink 1–2 gentle stir rotations to combine ingredients without knocking out too much carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Finish by placing 1 fresh orange wheel on the rim or inside the glass. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
