Learn how to make the best Spritz cocktail with this easy recipe! Refreshing, bubbly, and perfect for any occasion, this classic drink is a must-try. 🍹✨
Yields: 1 serving
Prep time: 2 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 parts (90ml / 3 oz) Prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine)
- 2 parts (60ml / 2 oz) Aperol (or Campari for a slightly more bitter taste)
- 1 part (30ml / 1 oz) Soda water (club soda or sparkling water)
- Orange slice or olive, for garnish
- Ice cubes
Equipment:
- Wine glass (stemmed or stemless)
- Jigger or measuring spoons
Step-by-Step Pictures and Instructions:
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Glass.
- Make sure you have chilled Prosecco, Aperol (or Campari), and soda water.
- Grab your wine glass. A large wine glass allows for plenty of ice and the aromas to develop.
Step 2: Fill the Glass with Ice.
- Fill your wine glass generously with ice cubes. This will help keep your Spritz cold and refreshing.
Step 3: Add the Prosecco.
- Pour 3 parts (90ml / 3 oz) of chilled Prosecco into the glass over the ice.
Step 4: Add the Aperol (or Campari).
- Carefully pour 2 parts (60ml / 2 oz) of Aperol (or Campari) into the glass. You’ll see the vibrant orange (or red) color mixing with the Prosecco.
Step 5: Add the Soda Water.
- Top it off with 1 part (30ml / 1 oz) of soda water. This adds a touch of effervescence and dilutes the drink slightly.
Step 6: Gently Stir (Optional).
- If you like, you can gently stir the ingredients once to combine them. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as you don’t want to lose too much of the fizz.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve!
- Garnish your Spritz with a fresh orange slice, placed on the rim of the glass. Alternatively, you can use a green olive for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Spritz!
