Aperol Spritz
A citrusy and bitter sparkling built around other/low-abv, with the classic proportions and service that make the Aperol Spritz endure.
“Darling, a Aperol Spritz this polished makes the rest of the room look underdressed.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Aperol Spritz works because Prosecco, Aperol, soda water meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method built, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
