Method
How to make Aperol Spritz
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Chill a large wine glass, then fill it generously with medium or large ice cubes.
- 02
Pour 90 ml cold Prosecco over the ice first to help preserve its bubbles.
- 03
Add 60 ml Aperol slowly so it mixes through the wine without knocking out too much carbonation.
- 04
Top with 30 ml cold soda water, pouring it gently down the inside of the glass.
- 05
Lift the ice once or twice with a bar spoon; do not stir continuously or the drink will lose bubbles.
- 06
Add the optional orange slice between the ice and the glass, then serve immediately.
