Aperol Spritz

The 3-2-1 spritz: prosecco, Aperol and a splash of soda over ice. Low-proof and easy to drink.

Ingredients

• 3 oz (90 ml) Prosecco, chilled
• 2 oz (60 ml) Aperol
• 1 oz (30 ml) Soda water

Steps

1. Fill a wine glass with ice.
2. Add prosecco, then Aperol.
3. Top with a splash of soda.
4. Stir once gently and add an orange slice.

Make it a mocktail: Spritz-Free Spritz

Use a non-alcoholic bitter orange aperitif in place of Aperol and non-alcoholic sparkling wine in place of prosecco. Same 3-2-1.

Batch for two

For two: one bottle of prosecco makes about 8 spritzes, so it covers a few rounds. Build each glass separately so they stay bubbly.

Pair it with an at-home date
