How To Make An Aperol Spritz Cocktail

Whereas Kath is in Italy, I assumed it will be enjoyable to concentrate on considered one of my favourite drinks. Final summer season I found Aperol Spritz and completely happy 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 kind 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 strictly my cup of tea.
