Aperol spritz

The quintessential Venetian aperitif: light bitterness, prosecco bubbles and orange, over lots of ice.

Ingredients

  • 9 cl prosecco
  • 6 cl Aperol
  • 3 cl sparkling water
  • 1 slice orange
  • beaucoup ice cubes

Method

  1. Generously fill a large wine glass with ice cubes: the glass must be cold before pouring anything.
  2. Pour the prosecco first over the ice to preserve the bubbles.
  3. Add the Aperol, letting it run down the inside of the glass; it will naturally sink.
  4. Top with very cold sparkling water.
  5. Stir just once, gently, from bottom to top with a bar spoon.
  6. Slide the orange slice against the inside of the glass and serve immediately.
