How to Make an Aperol Spritz
The Aperol Spritz is an Italian aperitif that dates back to the early 1900s. Its light, refreshing notes come from Prosecco (or other sparkling wine) and a splash of club soda. A couple of ounces of Aperol give the drink its signature bitter flavor. Use a tall glass or deep wine goblet to serve chilled over plenty of ice. Add an orange wheel to the glass for a pretty pop of color and bright citrus flavor.
Our Favorite Twists on the Spritz
For a variation on the Aperol Spritz, try a Hugo Spritz, which subs in elderflower syrup or liqueur for the Aperol. Or an Amici Spritz, made with 3 ounces La Marca Prosecco, 1 1/2 ounces of gin, ¾ ounces of lemon juice, and ¾ ounces of honey syrup. Another option is the Lone Ranger, which adds Tequila to the mix.
