Aperol Spritz
This easy, three-ingredient Aperol Spritz is a classic Italian cocktail that is bright, bitter, and sparkling. It balances delicate bitter-sweet notes with lively Prosecco bubbles and is ready in under five minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 oz Prosecco choose a dry DOC like Mionetto or La Marca
- 2 oz Aperol the signature Italian aperitif with bright, bittersweet orange notes
- 1 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water San Pellegrino works well
- Ice cubes large, clear cubes melt slower
- Orange slice or twist for garnish
Instructions
- Pop your favorite wine or rocks glass into the freezer for 5 minutes, so the drink stays cool.
- Heap in large, clear cubes up to the brim—big cubes melt slower, keeping dilution gentle.
- Measure 2 ounces, letting that sunset-orange liquid flow over the ice.
- Tilt the glass and pour 3 ounces slowly to preserve the fizz—think gentle waterfall.
- Add 1 ounce of club soda; a quick splash brings freshness without overpowering.
- Use a bar spoon or straw—just one or two gentle turns to marry flavors.
- Float an orange slice or twist on top. Voila—your Aperol Spritz Recipe is ready to enjoy!
Notes
Premix Aperol and Prosecco (3:2 ratio) in a sealed bottle and store in fridge up to 12 hours. Leave soda and ice separate and add them just before serving to keep bubbles snappy.
