Ingredients
Ice cubes
90ml (3 oz) chilled Prosecco (dry/brut)
60ml (2 oz) chilled Aperol
30ml (1 oz) chilled soda water (club soda)
1 fresh orange slice, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Fill a large wine glass generously with ice cubes. Ensure the glass is well-chilled to keep your spritz recipe cold and prevent rapid dilution.
Step 2: Pour in 3 parts (approximately 90ml or 3 oz) of chilled Prosecco. For best results, use a dry or brut variety to maintain the perfect balance of flavors in your spritz recipe.
Step 3: Add 2 parts (approximately 60ml or 2 oz) of chilled Aperol. Watch the beautiful orange hue blend with the sparkling wine, a signature visual of this spritz recipe.
Step 4: Top with 1 part (approximately 30ml or 1 oz) of chilled soda water. This adds extra fizz and lightness, completing the refreshing profile of your spritz recipe.
Step 5: Gently stir the ingredients together with a bar spoon. A light stir is sufficient to combine everything without losing too much of the precious carbonation in your spritz recipe.
Step 6: Garnish with a fresh orange slice. This not only adds a pop of color but also a lovely aromatic complement to your classic spritz recipe. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Always use well-chilled ingredients and plenty of ice for the best Aperol Spritz experience. For a slightly sweeter spritz, you can reduce the soda water or use an extra-dry Prosecco. Experiment with garnishes like olives or a lemon twist for a different flair, though orange is traditional for this spritz recipe.
