Aperol Spritz Recipe

Melissa
This recipe is summer in a glass (or a pitcher!) that no one can resist when the temperature spikes. It is just as easily made for one as it is for a large party and only requires three simple ingredients!

Servings 1 cocktail (or see notes for 1 pitcher)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces Aperol
  • 3 ounces Prosecco (dry or brut style)
  • 1 ounce Soda water (seltzer or club soda)
  • Orange slice for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the aperol to a large wine glass filled with ice. 
  • Top with prosecco and soda water. 
  • Garnish, if desired. 

Notes

For a small batch (makes 8):
  • 2 cups aperol
  • 1 bottle prosecco (750 ml bottle, dry or brut style)
  • 1 cup soda water (about ⅔ of a 12 ounce can)
  • Orange slices for garnish, optional
For a large batch (makes 16):
  • 4 cups aperol
  • 2 bottles prosecco (750 ml each, dry or brut style)
  • 2 cups soda water (a little less than 1 ½  of 12 ounce cans)
  • Orange slices for garnish, optional
  1. Add Aperol, prosecco, and soda water to a pitcher or drink dispenser large enough to hold all of the beverage and gently stir.
  2. Add several orange slices to the pitcher, if desired.
  3. Allow guests to pour into cocktail glasses filled with fresh ice.
Tip: Avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher. Instead, pour your batch into cocktail glasses filled with ice and keep the pitcher chilled as much as possible either in a fridge or nestle the pitcher in a large bucket of ice.
