The Signature Aperol Spritz
Elevate your next cocktail evening with the timeless allure of the Signature Aperol Spritz—luminous, refreshing, and effortlessly refined. Perfect for long summer nights, elegant aperitivo hours, or any moment that calls for a beautifully composed drink, it’s a cocktail designed to be savoured slowly and shared with ease.
Fill two glasses generously with ice, allowing them to chill to a crisp, inviting temperature.
Pour the Aperol over the ice, letting its amber hue settle elegantly, then follow with the Prosecco.
Add a slice of orange to release its delicate citrus oils, and finish with a gentle splash of soda or sparkling water for a final lift of freshness. Serve immediately—bright, effervescent, and effortlessly refined.
A few details make all the difference
01
Chill the Glasses First
Fill two large wine glasses generously with ice and let them sit for a minute before mixing. Well-chilled glasses keep the drink crisp and refreshing for longer.
02
Pour in the Right Order
Add the Aperol over the ice first, then gently pour in the Prosecco. This helps preserve the bubbles and creates a beautifully balanced blend.
03
Finish with Fresh Citrus
Add a fresh orange slice and a light splash of soda or sparkling water just before serving. The citrus oils enhance the aroma while the soda adds a final touch of brightness and effervescence.
Why this recipe works
Few cocktails capture the spirit of summer quite like the Aperol Spritz—radiant in hue, delicately bittersweet, and effortlessly refreshing. It is a drink that feels as at home on a sunlit terrace as it does in hand at golden hour, its gentle effervescence setting the tone for evenings that unfold slowly and beautifully.
Cook’s notes
This is my preferred expression of the Signature Aperol Spritz
—perfectly balanced, yet beautifully adaptable to your own taste. For a softer, less bitter profile, simply lean into the Prosecco; for something lighter and more delicate, a touch more soda water will create a gentler, more ethereal pour.
Orange
A slice of orange is classic, its oils enhancing the citrus notes of the Aperol, though grapefruit or lemon offer a more nuanced, slightly sharper twist should you wish to refine the profile further.
Always serve well-chilled over ice,
Allowing the flavours to remain crisp and composed from first sip to last.
