Notes

  • Hosting a party? Make an Aperol spritz pitcher. Multiply the quantities by 8, then pour over ice. Just note that since we don’t want the effervescence to evaporate, any leftovers should be kept in a well-sealed, airtight container.

  • To remember the classic Aperol spritz recipe, 3-2-1. 3 parts Cava, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part Topo Chico. I prefer mine a bit more on the bitter and boozy side, so I use 3 parts Aperol, 3 parts Cava, and 1 part Topo Chico.

  • Don’t over-mix: Just 1-2 spins around the glass is all you need to mix the ingredients. The more you stir, the more the bubbles will dissipate, and half the fun of a spritz is that it’s sparkling!
