The Aperol Spritz is a classic low-alcohol cocktail from the
Veneto region in Italy. This time of year when the weather is getting hot, it’s
one of my favorites. Aperol is a bitter liqueur from the makers of Campari. There is a little more sweetness to it than Campari making it easier for most
to drink. Even better, this is one of
the easiest cocktails to make!
2 oz Aperol
3 oz Prosecco
Club Soda
In your favorite glass (I prefer a rocks glass but traditionally
done in Italy in a wine glass) add the Aperol, ice, and then prosecco. Top the
drink with club soda. Give the drink a quick stir to disperse the Aperol
throughout the drink. Garnish with an orange wedge. Sip. Smile. Repeat as
necessary.
