Follow this simple guide to make the classic, effervescent Italian Aperol Spritz using the traditional 3-2-1 ratio.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 parts Prosecco (chilled)
  • 2 parts Aperol
  • 1 part Soda Water (chilled)
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 Orange slice or wheel for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a large wine glass completely with ice cubes.
  2. Pour 3 parts of chilled Prosecco over the ice.
  3. Add 2 parts of Aperol. The Aperol will sink initially.
  4. Top with 1 part of chilled soda water to help lift the Aperol.
  5. Gently stir the drink once or twice using a bar spoon, moving from the bottom up, just enough to combine the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
  6. Garnish with a fresh orange slice or wheel placed on the rim or dropped into the glass.

Notes

  • Use a dry Prosecco, such as Brut, for the best bubbly result.
  • Chill all ingredients before mixing to keep the drink colder longer and preserve the bubbles.
  • For a slightly less bitter taste, you can use a 4-2-1 ratio instead of 3-2-1.
