About

The Aperol Spritz is a popular Italian cocktail, known for its vibrant orange hue and refreshing flavor. A perfect blend of the bitterness of Aperol, the bubbles of prosecco, and a touch of soda water, it is ideal for warm afternoons or as an aperitif. Typically garnished with an orange wedge, it combines both bitterness and a light, effervescent finish. This drink is served in a wine glass, making it as easy to sip on as it is to enjoy in a social setting.
