Orange Aperol Spritz

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The 'all-season' version of the Aperol Spritz. While the original recipe is leaner, this version rounds out Aperol's herbal bitterness with freshly squeezed orange juice. The acidity and bubbles of the Prosecco 'cut through' the fruit sugar, keeping the drink refreshing rather than syrupy.

⚠️ Sulfites (in wine)

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill the wine glass with ice.

Tip: Lots of ice is the secret: it won't melt quickly, it just chills the ingredients.
2 ✓

Pour the Aperol and orange juice over the ice.

Tip: Denser liquids (liqueur, juice) go in first so they can mix later.
3 ✓

Tilt the glass and gently pour in the Prosecco.

Tip: Pouring at an angle preserves carbonation, keeping the drink bubbly.
4 ✓

Top with a splash of club soda.

Tip: Soda 'opens up' the flavors.
5 ✓

Lift the drink gently from the bottom with a spoon in one smooth motion.

Tip: Don't stir in circles, or you'll lose bubbles. The goal is just to merge the layers.
6 ✓

Slide the orange slice alongside the ice.

Tip: Essential oils from the orange peel add the finishing touch.

Recipe FAQ

Why use a wine glass?
The bulbous shape collects the aromas of the orange and herbs, so your nose gets part of the experience while you sip.
