An Aperol Spritz is a traditional Italian cocktail made with Aperol liquor, Prosecco (wine!), soda water, and sometimes garnished with an orange slice. That’s it! To my shock, I didn’t even understand this cocktail had a kind of glowing wine in it till I had already ordered one other at my favourite beachside restaurant.

To make the proper Aperol Spritz at house, you’ll want the next elements:
