Aperol Spritz Recipe

Today, we’re gonna chat about everyone’s favorite summer sipper, the Aperol Spritz. This Italian classic is more than just a pretty drink – it’s a taste of la dolce vita in a glass. So, let’s get started, shall we?

Key Ingredients

The Aperol Spritz is all about simplicity, using just three main ingredients:

  • Aperol: This vibrant orange-hued aperitif is the star of the show. It’s got a unique, slightly bitter flavor that’s both refreshing and inviting.
  • Prosecco: A crisp, dry Italian sparkling wine that adds a touch of elegance and bubbly effervescence to our spritz.

How to Make

Making an Aperol Spritz is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Grab a large wine glass and fill it with a few ice cubes.
  2. Add 3 parts Prosecco (about 90 ml or 3 oz).
  3. Pour in 2 parts Aperol (about 60 ml or 2 oz).
  4. Top it off with 1 part soda water (about 30 ml or 1 oz).
  5. Garnish with a slice of orange for a pop of color and added flavor.
  6. Give it a gentle stir, and voilà! Your Aperol Spritz is ready to enjoy.

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few tips to make your Aperol Spritz experience even better:

  • Add a splash of fresh lemon juice for a little extra zing – it’s my personal fave!
  • Use chilled ingredients to keep your spritz cool and refreshing.
  • Don’t skimp on the ice – it helps balance the flavors and keeps your drink perfectly chilled.
