The Spritz is the absolute symbol of the Italian way of life, a cocktail whose simplicity is matched only by its universal elegance. L'Aperol, with its intense orange colour and notes of bitter herbs and orange peel, blends perfectly with the sparkling lightness of Prosecco to create a festive and thirst-quenching drink. The sparkling water lightens the whole and preserves the beautiful effervescence that is the signature of this cocktail appreciated from Venice to Paris. A must-have summer aperitif that any cocktail lover must master.
Preparation
Fill a large glass such as a balloon or tumbler with ice cubes.
Pour the Prosecco first, then the Aperol.
Complete with fresh sparkling water.
Mix gently with a spoon to maintain effervescence.
Decorate with a slice of orange or, Italian style, a green olive.
Always pour the Prosecco first to better control the mixture and prevent Aperol from falling to the bottom. You can replace Aperol with Campari for a more full-bodied version. This cocktail is ideal for a summer aperitif.
