Ingredients

  • 3 ounce prosecco
  • 2 ounce Aperol
  • 1 ounce Soda soda water, or sparkling water
  • Orange wheel for garnish, I used a blood orange

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a wine glass with ice and add the Prosecco, Aperol, and soda. Stir gently to combine and garnish with an orange wheel.

Notes

  • Perfect Proportions: Always remember the classic Aperol Spritz ratio: 3:2:1 - that’s three parts prosecco, two parts Aperol, and one part soda water to get the balance just right.
  • Quality Ingredients: Opt for a high-quality Prosecco and use fresh soda water. The ingredients are few, so their quality will significantly impact the drink.
  • Serving Glass: Consider using a large wine glass or a goblet to serve Aperol Spritz. It provides plenty of room for ice and an orange slice, both of which are essential for an authentic experience.
  • Ice is Essential: Fill your glass with ice cubes to keep your spritz delightfully chilled and to slow dilution. More ice actually helps the drink stay colder longer and thus, prevents it from getting watered down quickly.
  • Garnish Gracefully: Don't skimp on the orange slice garnish, it’s not just aesthetic but it adds a fresh citrus note to your drink. Sometimes a green olive is also added for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Gentle Stir: Give your spritz a gentle stir after pouring all the ingredients to ensure they meld together without disrupting the fizz too much.
