Description

The Aperol Spritz is more than just a cocktail—it is a symbol of the Italian "La Dolce Vita." With its vibrant orange color and refreshingly bittersweet taste, it is the perfect aperitif for social gatherings and warm summer evenings. The drink has its roots in the Veneto region of Italy. The classic 3-2-1 formula makes it easy to remember and perfectly balanced.

Preparation

  1. Fill a large wine glass to the brim with ice cubes.
  2. Gently pour the Prosecco into the glass.
  3. Add the Aperol. It should sink through the ice.
  4. Add a splash of soda water.
  5. Stir gently once to mix the ingredients without losing carbonation.
  6. Garnish with a fresh orange slice and serve immediately.
