Aperol Spritz Glasses
Liquid Measuring Cup

Ingredients

ice cubes
¾ cup Aperol liquor
¾ cup Prosecco La Marca or Ruffino are two favorites
¼ cup club soda or sparkling water
2 orange slices

Instructions

Fill 2 glasses with ice.
Pour the Aperol over the ice
Add the Prosecco and an orange slice to the glass.
Finish with a splash of soda or sparkling water.

Notes

Storage: A bottle of open Aperol Liquor should be refrigerated once it is open. The open bottle keeps about 3 months in the fridge.

The cocktail is best poured and served right away.

Notes:

If you prefer lighter and less boozy, add more sparkling water or club soda.

Aperol can be slightly bitter, a bit more Prosecco can cut the bitterness.

Can I use Campari instead of Aperol?

Campari can be used but it is a bit sweeter. It also has a much higher alcohol content.

For variety, champagne can be used instead of Processo.
