The first thing you think of when you hear Aperol Spritz is definitely Italy. This delicious cocktail is the best way to keep your cool this summer. It’s extremely easy to prepare and with only three ingredients. You will need 5 minutes to get everything done. If you want to bring the taste of Italy in your backyard or do an authentic Italian party for your friends, this drink is all you need.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Aperol
  • 1 bottle chilled Prosecco
  • ice
  • soda
  • orange slices

Instructions

To prepare this signature Italian cocktail you will need balloon glasses. Another way to go is wine glasses as well.

This recipe is meant for 8 to 11 servings, which means you can enjoy it with your whole family or a group of friends. Simply get the number of glasses that you need and you’re ready to go.

Fill each glass with ice cubes. The Aperol and Prosecco should be in equal parts. Most recipes suggest a ratio of 3:2:1 Prosecco:Aperol:soda, but this one is much more authentic and allows you to better experience the taste of Aperol.

When you’re done with the first step, you can simply top up the glasses with soda. Use the orange slices to decorate the Aperol Spritz.
