How to Make Aperol Spritz

The Aperol Spritz is a classic Italian cocktail composed of prosecco, Aperol, a splash of soda water, and a slice of orange. The drink combines the sparkling dryness of prosecco with Aperol's bittersweet orange flavor, lightened by soda water for a refreshing finish. Its vibrant orange hue and simple assembly offer a pleasant, balanced aperitif.

Description

The cocktail is built directly in a glass filled with ice, starting with prosecco, followed by Aperol, and finished with soda water. Adding an orange slice enhances both the aroma and appearance. The mixture is refreshing and slightly bubbly, with Aperol contributing a bitter-sweet, orange-based flavor that complements the dry sparkling wine. The soda water adds a mild effervescence and helps lighten the cocktail.

This drink is commonly served as an aperitif to stimulate the appetite before a meal. Its straightforward preparation and balanced profile have made it a popular choice in social settings.

An optional variation you can try is adding orange juice in place of the soda water for a fruitier twist, as some prefer a juicier flavor. However, the classic recipe emphasizes the light soda splash for subtle effervescence.
