Tips
- The key to a great Aperol Spritz is using high-quality ingredients. Ensure you have fresh Aperol, Prosecco, and soda water. Freshness matters for the best flavor.
- Serve your Aperol Spritz in a large wine glass or a tumbler with plenty of ice. The glass should be large enough to fit the drink and ice comfortably.
- The classic ratio for an Aperol Spritz is 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, and 1 part soda water. This balance provides a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Begin by adding a generous amount of ice to your glass. The ice not only chills the drink but also dilutes it slightly, which can help balance the flavors.
- Traditionally, Aperol Spritz is garnished with a slice of orange. However, you can get creative with garnishes. Try adding a twist of orange peel, a slice of lemon, or even a few berries for a unique touch.
- Taste your Aperol Spritz and adjust the ingredients to suit your preference. If it's too bitter, you can add a little more Prosecco or soda water. If it's too sweet, add more Aperol.
- Aperol Spritz is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as you finish preparing it. The ice will help keep it cold.
