Aperol spritz is the perfect drink to have with a picnic, or any other type of charcuterie or finger foods (preferably enjoyed outdoors in the sunshine).

Aperol spritz
Aperol spritz is THE drink of summer. As soon as the weather warms up, I crave this refreshing, bittersweet and bubbly cocktail. I’ve changed up the classic 3-2-1 ratio for more Aperol flavour balanced with more soda water, so I can spritz all day long!

60 ml Prosecco
60 ml soda water
1 cup ice cubes
orange slice, to garnish (optional)
Ingredients
3 fl oz Aperol
2 fl oz Prosecco
2 fl oz soda water
1 cup ice cubes

The class recipe for Aperol spritz is 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol and 1 part soda water.
However, I find this often doesn’t have enough Aperol flavour, coupled with the ice melting and watering down the flavour even further. I also find myself topping up the volume with soda water, so this recipe is (in my opinion) the perfect ratio of flavour and volume. Experiment to find your preferred ratio of ingredients!
Variations
Really, any type of liqueur can be turned into a spritz by adding Prosecco and soda water! Here are some other classic spritz recipes:
