How To Make An Aperol Spritz Cocktail

Whereas Kath is in Italy, I assumed it might be enjoyable to concentrate on one among my favourite drinks. Final summer time I found Aperol Spritz and comfortable hour modified for the higher!

An Aperol Spritz is a basic Italian cocktail made with Aperol liquor, Prosecco (wine!), soda water, and usually garnished with an orange slice. That’s it! To my shock, I didn’t even notice this cocktail had a sort of glowing wine in it till I had already ordered one other at my favourite beachside restaurant.

I’m not one for overly candy drinks, so the bitterness of the Aperol blended with a dry Prosecco and bubbly soda water is precisely my cup of tea.

To make the proper Aperol Spritz at residence, you’ll want the next elements:

loads of ice
Aperol
Prosecco
soda water
an orange slice

Listed below are very simple directions on the way to make the proper Aperol spritz. I additionally like this Basic Aperol Spritz recipe from Cookie & Kate.
