Aperol Spritz Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 cocktail
Aperol Spritz is the ultimate summer brunch drink — bright, bubbly, and easy to love. We serve them often at events, and the key to keeping that refreshing pop? Batch the Aperol and Prosecco first, then add the soda water right before serving to preserve the crisp bubbles.
🍊 Ingredients
- 3 parts Prosecco
- 2 parts Aperol
- 1 part soda water
- Orange slice for garnish
🍹 Instructions
- Add ice to a wine glass: Fill a large wine glass generously with ice cubes.
- Pour in Prosecco: First add the Prosecco to the glass.
- Add Aperol: Gently pour Aperol over the Prosecco.
- Top with soda water: Finish with a splash of chilled soda water.
- Garnish: Stir gently and garnish with a slice of fresh orange.
✨ Bartender Tip
Batch the Aperol and Prosecco in an airtight bottle and add soda water individually when serving — this keeps the drink vibrant and fizzy, not flat!
❓ Aperol Spritz FAQs
Can I use Champagne instead of Prosecco?
You can, but it will make the drink drier and more expensive. Prosecco is traditionally used for its light, fruity flavor.
What’s the alcohol content of an Aperol Spritz?
Around 11%, depending on your exact measurements and soda water volume.
Is there a non-alcoholic version?
Yes! Use a non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a bitter orange soda or an Aperol alternative.
What kind of glass should I use?
A large wine glass or balloon glass works best to hold the ice and allow room for bubbles.
