A light and refreshing Italian aperitif, the Aperol Spritz is a bubbly and slightly bitter cocktail. Its bright orange color and low alcohol content make it a perfect drink for socializing and enjoying a relaxing afternoon.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 Glass 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 90 ml Prosecco
  • 60 ml Aperol
  • 30 ml Soda Water
  • Ice Cubes
  • Orange Slice For Garnish

Instructions

  1. Place a large wine glass in the refrigerator for a few minutes or fill with ice water to pre-chill for a crisp start.
  2. Fill the glass three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes, then pour in Prosecco first to keep the drink bright and bubbly.
  3. Slowly pour Aperol over the sparkling wine to create a striking orange gradient.
  4. Add soda water gently to lift the flavors and complete the spritz’s signature effervescence.
  5. Give one gentle stir to blend without losing carbonation.
  6. Garnish beautifully (optional): Add a thick orange slice or a peel twist along the rim for aroma and color. For a more fragrant finish, express a little orange oil from the peel over the glass before dropping it in.
  7. Enjoy chilled and bubbly — the perfect balance of sweet, bitter, and sparkling freshness.
  8. Optional tip: Use a 3:2:1 ratio (Prosecco : Aperol : Soda) for easy scaling, and serve with a green olive for a true Venetian touch.
