The Iconic Italian aperitif – summer in a glass!
This drink signals summer to me. Despite the pouring rain and temps in the 40’s here for our Memorial Day weekend, I’m going for this cocktail in celebration of summer, coming, soon… Three ingredients, over ice, tastes like sunshine. Here’s to making your own!
Aperol Spritz
The iconic Italian aperitif; prosecco, aperol, and spash of club soda makes the perfect summer cocktail combination.
Ingredients
- 4 oz Aperol
- 6-8 oz prosecco
- 2 oz club soda (I prefer pellegrino)
- 1 orange, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Fill two glasses 2/3 full of ice cubes. Into each glass, start with the aperol (2 oz), top with prosecco (3-4 oz), and finish with a splash of pellegrino. Garnish with orange slices. I don't stir the cocktail, leaving the bubbles to do the work!
