Classic Aperol Spritz
My favorite drink from our time in Italy - right to your kitchen!! Get ready for the Aperol Spritz of your summer!
Servings: 1 person

Ingredients
- crushed ice
- 2 ounces Aperol
- 3 ounces dry Prosecco
- 2 ounces sparkling water / soda water (while not authentic, we really love this with a plain Topo Chico)
- Orange for garnish
Instructions
- Add ice to a wine glass until it is nearly full. Pour in the Aperol followed by the prosecco and give it a quick stir.
- Top your drink off with a splash of sparkling water and add a slice of orange.
Notes
Aperol is a bright orange apéritif. (which just means that it’s usually an alcoholic drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite but I drink it throughout an entire meal and have never regretted it!) It has a zesty orange flavor with hints of herbs and a touch of vanilla. It’s hard to explain but trust me, it’s good! Especially in a spritz!
