Nothing says summer quite like a chilled Spritz cocktail in hand. Light, bubbly, and refreshingly bittersweet, the Spritz is an iconic Italian aperitif that’s taken the world by storm—especially on warm afternoons and golden hours. Whether you’re hosting a garden party or just unwinding after a long day, this easy-to-make cocktail delivers sophistication with minimal effort. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the perfect Spritz, share a few popular variations, and offer tips to elevate your sipping experience.
Ingredients :
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Aperol
- ⅓ cup (90 ml) Prosecco
- Splash of soda water (to taste)
- ½ orange slice, for garnish
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Preparation: How to Make a Spritz Cocktail :
To prepare the Spritz, start by filling a wine glass to the brim with ice. Next, pour in the Prosecco, followed by the Aperol.
Finally, add a splash of soda water or very sparkling water. Top up with a bit more ice, stir gently, and garnish with half a slice of orange—your Spritz is ready to enjoy!
Tips :
No soda water siphon? No problem! You can easily find one at most stores or pick up a disposable version at the supermarket. Alternatively, sparkling water works just as well as a substitute to complete your Spritz.
