What You’ll Need:

Directions:
- Prep Your Glass
Start by filling a large wine glass (or any glass you prefer) with ice. Don’t hold back—lots of ice helps keep the drink nice and chilled. - Add Aperol
Pour Aperol into the glass. This is the star of the show, giving the drink that beautiful orange color and distinct slightly bitter flavor. - Pour in the Prosecco
Next, add your chilled Prosecco. It’s got that refreshing effervescence that makes this drink so much fun to sip on. - Top it off with Soda Water
Add a splash of soda water to give the drink a light fizz and mellow out the flavors just a bit. - Garnish
Throw in a slice or two of orange—not only does it look pretty, but it also gives the cocktail a lovely citrus scent. - Give it a Stir
Give everything a gentle stir to mix it all together. And just like that, your Aperol Spritz is ready to enjoy.
Tips for the Perfect Aperol Spritz:
- Go big on the ice: The more ice, the better. It keeps the drink cold longer without watering it down too quickly.
- Use chilled Prosecco: A cold bottle of Prosecco will make a world of difference.
- Add a twist: If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can add a strip of orange peel or even a sprig of mint for an aromatic touch.
The Aperol Spritz is not just a drink—it’s a vibe. Its vibrant color and lively fizz bring a fun, casual elegance to any occasion. Whether you’re relaxing after a long day or celebrating with friends, this cocktail is sure to hit the spot.
