Aperol Spritz

The Aperol Spritz, an effervescent and visually striking cocktail, is a beloved staple of Italian aperitivo culture. Originating in the Veneto region, this iconic drink is a symphony of simplicity and balance, combining the slightly bitter, herbaceous undertones of Aperol with the refreshing effervescence of Prosecco, and a splash of soda water to round it out.
