Tips:

  • Chill your ingredients: For the best results, chill your Aperol, prosecco, and soda water before making your Aperol spritz. This will help to keep your drink cold and refreshing.
  • Use fresh oranges: The orange slice garnish is essential for an Aperol spritz. Be sure to use fresh oranges for the best flavour.
  • Don't over-stir your drink: When you stir your Aperol spritz, do it gently. Over-stirring will cause the drink to become cloudy.
  • Serve immediately: Aperol spritzes are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. The longer they sit, the flatter they will become.
