Aperol Spritz

A few years ago, friend Joanne sent pictures from Italy daily; and an Aperol Spritz was showing up regularly. Delicious, a bit bitter and thirst quenching, this Italian aperitif doesn’t disappoint.
Using a nice dry Prosecco, mixed with the Aperol just ups the experience. Think of hot summer days in Italy. We prefer adding a drop of Orange Bitters to the spritz.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz 4 TBSP Aperol
  • 2 oz 4 TBSP Dry Prosecco
  • 1 drop Angostura or Fee Brothers Orange Bitters
  • 1 slice orange

Instructions
 

  • Ice in drinks is a very personal thing. Use as much or as little as you prefer. More ice will dilute the drink. I prefer 2-3 cubes; Mike likes double that.
  • Add ice to a white wine glass. Then add Aperol, Prosecco, Angostura Orange Bitters and orange slice.
  • Give the glass a swirl and dream of Italy.
