aperol spritz

Learn how to make a classic Aperol spritz! These bubbly Italian cocktails are refreshing and so easy to make. Aperol spritzes are best made one by one, so the recipe is written to yield one cocktail and you can make more as necessary. Cheers!

Classic Aperol Spritz

(1 part) Aperol

(1 part) dry Prosecco

(a splash) club soda or unflavored sparkling water

Orange slice,

Add ice to a wine glass until it is nearly full. Pour in the Aperol (I usually eyeball this and pour until I&#8217;ve filled about one-third of the glass).

Pour in an equal amount of Prosecco. Top your drink off with a splash of club soda and add a slice of orange. Enjoy!

I am trying my best studying all cocktails and it's a good experience to get ideas from others.

I am not a fan (too sweet) but maybe I just had a bad one. Didn't want another after that. They are pretty, though.

Ever since returning from Italy last summer I have been making this cocktail. It’s my new favorite!  Thanks Kate!

Thanks Kate for the aperol spritz recipe..It happens to be on our cocktail menu as well,so thank you really appreciate..

I’ve been wanting to try an Aperol Spritz for quite some time. I had just seen your post and then today while at Costco, they had so kindly placed Prosecco right next to the Aperol. So I grabbed one of each while thinking of the oranges on our tree. Here in AZ we’ve already had 80° weather and I’m thinking about cocktails on the lanai. You’re right - it’s easy to make, crisp and refreshing. It may become my go-to sipper while I’m preparing dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed this!

I love a nice Aperol Spritz! I first had one in Venice a few years back and found them in every country we visited. They all tasted the same, were very refreshing and easy to order. Everyone knew a Spritz and all the “locals” were drinking them. We’ve been making them in the summer ever since, and like you say, you can play around with the proportions to suit most tastes.

I sense that anyone who says that Aperol Spritz is not a good drink has never had one. I had one with brunch in San Franciso a few years ago, and I too found it delightful!

Love this post and recipe! Will need to file it away for my postpartum days  

A favorite restaurant in Denver serves theirs with a Castelvetrano garnish - salty and sweet - which is along the same lines as your pairing options. Thank you!

I love an Aperol Spritz but never knew how to properly make them. Thanks Kate! I love your blog!!!! 
(ps: I also adore an Aperol Sour - try one)

I just subscribed because I love your recipes! 
I saw the NYT article and I agree with you -- the Aperol spritz is, well, delightful. I was introduced to it two years ago when our family went to Italy. I can't handle the powerful bitter of a Negroni, but the Aperol spritz has a nice balance of sweet and bitter. Grapefruit or lemon can be added for more acid.
Enjoy your trip.

These drinks are wonderful. We loved them. They remind me of a less bitter chinotto drink from the San Pelligrino line. Thank you for the recipe!

Kate, you nailed it when you said to use a dry Prosecco. Use one too sweet, and you have carbonated cough syrup. I like spritzers, but prefer a good sangria, you have a good recipe for that as well.

I love these at brunch or in the evening when I want a little something classy but with less alcohol than bourbon

Hi, Kate! First off, I want to say that I’m a huge fan of your blog and cookbook. I’ve been following for years and have easily made two dozen or more of your recipes (and everything always turns out fantastic!)

I am also a huge fan of the Aperol spritz; I tried to like Campari but find it a bit too bitter for my tastes. Aperol is much more approachable and this cocktail recipe is great. I’m going to pair it with your puttanesca sauce tonight!

Thanks so much for your blog, it has really helped me expand my repertoire of regular meals and has made me a better cook.

It really looks delicious. I want to do the same. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this superb drink idea. I can prepare it for my customers who do not drink alcohol!!!(I just discover your blog and I love it!!!!)

Delightful cocktail! I loved the slight bitterness with the refreshing orange taste. I used Valencia oranges which were delightful. Thank you for the tip on adjusting it to your guest's tastes. I'm fully in team Aperal Spritz!

My husband and I just returned from a 2-wk trip to Italy and we drank Aperol Spritz nearly every day! I'm going to a girls card night in the neighborhood and taking the ingredients and your recipe so we can all enjoy a bit it Italia!

It took me a bit to get to the Liquor store.  I am so glad I did.  Really enjoyed this drink.  The color is just gorgeous also.  Thank you for sharing.

The best summer drink and my favorite this time of year or actually anytime of the year :)  Thanks Sylvia for all the great citrus based recipes.  Can't get enough citrus!

Ah ha. The Aperol spritz has finally made it to even -- Texas. Definitely the best summer drink ever. And in my opinion, even a very cheap Cava works great. In the summer I keep some single serve Bollicini cans in the fridge for when I want to make just one.

Ist der perfekte Sommerdrink für die Terasse. Ich verwende aber normalen Weisswein und keinen Prosecco und es schmeckt genau so gut.

Ist ein traumhafter Durstlöscher und schmeckt vorzüglich.Wir verwenden auch meistens Weisswein und ab und zu etwas Sekt.

cp611

Stimme dir voll zu! Was aber unbedingt nicht fehlen darf ist frische Zitrone oder Zitronenscheiben - die puschen nochmal so richtig!

-michi-

Ist wirklich zu einem klassischen Aperitif geworden. Ist mir aber doch leider etwas zu bitter       

Das stimmt - auf fast jeder Feier oder Party gibt es schon Aperol-Spritzer - entwerder als Aperitif oder als Digestif. Mir ist er allerdings auch zu bitter...

Silviatempelmayr

Stimmt momentan gibt es überall den Aperol. Mir schmeckt der überhaupt nicht. Er ist mir viel zu bitter.

tamixpanda

Ich find den Aperol einfach total erfrischend und da ich den bitteren Geschmack sehr gern mag, wird der auch oft mit Freunden getrunken. :)

sssumsi

ich mag aperol gerade deshalb weil er herb ist - ich generell keine süßen getränke. typische frauengetränke verursachen bei mir kopfweh.

snakeeleven

Ich trinke einen Aperol gespritzt sehr gerne weil er etwas bitter schmeckt,Der Aperol wird bei uns auch im Winter gerne getrunken

hexy235

Aperol Spritz ist ein bisschen aus der Mode gekommen, aber mir schmeckt er immer noch sehr gut weil ein bisschen herb.

Für den Aperol Spritz, die Eiswürfel in ein Weinglas geben, den Aperol eingießen, die Orangenscheibe hinzufügen.

Den eiskaltem Prosecco hinzugeben und mit dem Mineralwasser das Glas auffüllen, danach sofort servieren.

Aperol spritz is Italian summer in a glass. The bright red-orange hue is a good balance between bitter and sweet, with herby citrusy notes, and just the right amount of sparkling fizz. What more could you ask for in a summer cocktail?

The Aperol Spritz is a classic Italian cocktail that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. Hailing from Venice, Italy, this refreshing drink is known for its vibrant orange color and light, bubbly flavor. The key ingredient in an Aperol Spritz is Aperol, an Italian aperitif made from bitter orange, rhubarb, and gentian. The cocktail also typically includes a dash of soda water, 60ml of champagne, and 45ml of orange liqueur. The resulting flavor profile is a balance of bitter and sweet, with a touch of tanginess from the oranges. This drink is best enjoyed on a warm summer day, with its bright and refreshing taste making it the perfect aperitif to kick off a meal or a night out.
