Aperol Spritz
The Aperitivo Hour
An effervescent Italian classic — the bittersweet warmth of Aperol, the lift of Prosecco and a splash of soda, in that unmistakable sunset orange.
Shop ProseccoBorn in the Veneto, the Aperol Spritz is a study in balance: the gentle bitterness of Aperol, the crisp effervescence of Prosecco and a whisper of soda, served over ice with a slice of orange. It is less a cocktail than a mood — sun-drenched terraces, unhurried afternoons and the easy pleasure of well-made simple things.
Whether it opens dinner or carries a leisurely brunch, its bright colour and fresh, bittersweet taste lift any toast.
The classic recipe
- Fill a white wine glass with ice.
- Pour 3 parts Prosecco D.O.C. (9 cl).
