Wine

Ingredients

  • 60ml Aperol
  • 90ml Prosecco or Cava
  • 30ml club soda
No. of Servings:
1

Garnish

Orange slice

Instructions

  1. Pour all ingredients into a wine glass filled with ice.

  2. Stir gently and add the orange slice into the glass.

Hints

  1. You can make a Spritz with any type of Amari: Campari, Montenegro, Cynar, etc. Each brings its delicious flavors. Aperol is one of the most approachable Amari, so it makes sense that it’s the most popular, but don’t be afraid to play around with the others. 

  2. The 3:2:1 ratio is the most popular, but feel free to experiment with the ratios. PDT’s Aperol Spritz (see Related Cocktails) is 2:1:1 and includes a bit of orange juice, for example.

Trivia

  1. The origins of the spritz go back to the late 1800's. The drink began in the Veneto region of Italy, which at that time was dominated by the Habsburg Empire.

  2. The word spritz is German for splash, and it was used because the Austrians would add a splash of water to Italian wine, which they considered to be too rich.

  3. Aperol was created in 1919, and the Aperol Spritz made its debut in the 1950s.

  4. Check out one of Aperol’s first TV commercials: Carosello Aperol Barbieri where Aperol is said to be a Low-Alcohol option for people with a sense of restrain, and that it is the preferred drink of those who like playing sports. "Ah… Aperol! A name you don’t forget!"
