Ingredients

  • crushed ice
  • 2 ounces Aperol
  • 3 ounces dry Prosecco
  • 2 ounces sparkling water / soda water (while not authentic, we really love this with a plain Topo Chico)
  • Orange for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add ice to a wine glass until it is nearly full. Pour in the Aperol followed by the prosecco and give it a quick stir.
  2. Top your drink off with a splash of sparkling water and add a slice of orange.

Notes

  • Aperol is a bright orange apéritif. (which just means that it’s usually an alcoholic drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite but I drink it throughout an entire meal and have never regretted it!) It has a zesty orange flavor with hints of herbs and a touch of vanilla. It’s hard to explain but trust me, it’s good! Especially in a spritz!
