Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ice to chill
  • 180 ml Aperol
  • 180 ml Prosecco
  • 60 ml soda or sparkling water
  • 1 slice of orange for finishing

Method
 

  1. Fill two glasses generously with ice, allowing them to chill to a crisp, inviting temperature.
  2. Pour the Aperol over the ice, letting its amber hue settle elegantly, then follow with the Prosecco.
  3. Add a slice of orange to release its delicate citrus oils, and finish with a gentle splash of soda or sparkling water for a final lift of freshness. Serve immediately—bright, effervescent, and effortlessly refined.

Notes

Tailor the Signature Aperol Spritz to your mood with effortless ease. For a lighter, more delicate serve, simply increase the soda or sparkling water, softening the alcohol while preserving its refreshing character.
Garnish offers its own quiet opportunity for refinement—while orange remains the classic choice, slices of grapefruit or lemon introduce a brighter, more nuanced citrus edge.
In the glass, expect a beautifully balanced interplay of gentle bitterness and subtle sweetness. Should you prefer a softer profile, a more generous pour of Prosecco will round the edges, creating a smoother, more approachable expression.
