What Makes Aperol Spritz Special?
Well, according to their website, “Its orange is unmistakable, a vibrant color that lights up your toasts and adds extra joy to the moment. Everything else is brought to the table by the inner lighthearted spirit of Aperol Spritz: the same spirit that spontaneously gather people together and sparks nothing but good vibes. This spirit is also contagious: it’s difficult to hold back from enjoying a toast with friends, one orange sip at the time.”
How To Make One:
Start by adding ice into the glass then pour in the Prosecco, the Aperol and add a splash of soda, top with a slice of orange. This serving avoids the Aperol settling at the bottom. (Preparation Time: 5 min)
Step 1: FILL A WINE GLASS WITH ICE
Step 2: COMBINE PROSECCO DOC FOLLOWED BY APEROL IN EQUAL PARTS
Step 3: ADD A DASH OF SODA
Step 4: GARNISH WITH AN ORANGE SLICE
