Here's a classic cocktail that's bubbly, citrusy, herbal, subtly bitter and lightly sweet…the Aperol spritz! Also called the spritz veneziano, it's an Italian aperitif: a drink for before a meal. The spritz was invented back in the 1800’s in Italy, but it wasn’t until the 1950’s that the Aperol spritz took the form it has today.
3 ounces prosecco
2 ounces Aperol
1 ounce club soda
Garnish: orange slice
Add the prosecco, Aperol and club soda to a wine glass filled with ice and stir.
Garnish with an orange slice.
Base Spirit: Apertif
