The Aperol Spritz, also known as just Spritz, is a wine-based cocktail commonly served as an aperitif in Northeast Italy. It's a combination of Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of soda, served over ice and garnished with a slice of orange. Originating in Venice under the Austrian Empire, the drink conjures the easygoing Italian lifestyle of leisure and pleasure - welcoming summer with every sip.
Ingredients:
- 60ml Prosecco
- 60ml Aperol
- 30ml Soda water
- Ice cubes
- 1 slice of Orange for garnish
Preparation:
- Prepare the Base: Begin by filling a glass about half full with ice cubes. Pour in the Prosecco, followed by the Aperol. Ensure you're pouring in this order to prevent the Aperol from settling at the bottom. Next, add a dash of soda water.
- Serve and Garnish: Stir the elements lightly until they are perfectly mixed. Garnish your drink with a fresh slice of orange. Be sure to serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing, crisp taste of Aperol Spritz at its finest.
Tip:
Make sure to always add the Aperol into the glass after the Prosecco to achieve the perfect blend of flavors. Also, choosing a good quality, dry Prosecco can dramatically enhance the taste of your Aperol Spritz. Lastly, don't forget to serve it in a wine glass for an authentic touch!
