Aperol Spritz
The 3-2-1: prosecco, Aperol, a splash of soda. Big ice, orange wheel, the official drink of any sunny afternoon since 1919.
Ingredients
- 3 oz dry prosecco, chilled
- 2 oz Aperol
- 1 oz club soda
- 1 orange slice
- 1 large green olive, optional
- large ice cubes
How to cook
- 1
Fill a large wine glass with 4-5 big ice cubes.
- 2
Pour the prosecco in first. This matters — pouring Aperol first lets it sink, and the drink fails to stratify.
- 3
Pour the Aperol over the prosecco. The orange color sets in layers above the wine.
- 4
Top with the club soda — about a tablespoon, no more.
- 5
Drop in the orange slice. If you are doing it Italian-style, an unpitted Castelvetrano olive on the side.
Chef's note. Prosecco quality is the lever; pick a brut DOC, not the sweet kind. La Marca and Mionetto are both solid for $12.
