Aperol Spritz
Description
This cocktail is prepared by pouring chilled prosecco into a glass filled with ice, followed by Aperol and an orange wheel for citrus notes. The drink is topped with club soda to add a refreshing and lightly effervescent finish without overwhelming the flavors. The balance of sparkling wine and Aperol provides a slightly bitter yet fruity profile, making it aperitif-friendly.
Using club soda or an unflavored sparkling water can slightly alter bitterness levels and effervescence, and adjusting the proportions of Aperol and prosecco helps customize the bitterness to taste. The cocktail’s simplicity and bright presentation make it a common choice for casual or celebratory occasions.
This drink is best served immediately over ice to maintain chill and fizziness.
