Salty, creamy/fatty and sweet foods take the edge off bitter flavors. Keep in mind that Aperol is on the bitter side. Serve your Aperol spritzes with Italian or general Mediterranean-flavored appetizers. They’re typically lightly alcoholic and more dry than sweet. Apéritifs are designed to be served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. The aperol spritz is commonly served as an apéritif. To make it even lower in alcohol content, use proportionally more club soda and less Aperol and Prosecco. Make it less boozyĪs written, your Aperol spritz is around 11 percent alcohol content by volume (Aperol is 11% ABV and Prosecco is 12%). Make it less bitterĪperol’s bitter notes can take some getting used to, so you can reduce the bitterness by using less Aperol and more Prosecco. I like mine with a little more Prosecco than Aperol.

The generally accepted ratio is equal parts Aperol and Prosecco plus a splash of club soda. You’ll simply fill a wine glass with ice, then add Aperol, Prosecco, club soda and a slice of orange. No cocktail shaker or fancy equipment required! You can skip this if you don’t have it, but an orange slice is the classic garnish for an Aperol spritz.Īperol spritz cocktails are unbelievably easy to make.

The brand describes the flavors as, “zesty orange with complex herbal scents harmonized with a touch of vanilla.” Look for Aperol near the liqueurs or amaros at the liquor store. These cocktails require four basic ingredients, plus ice. Both articles are written with the assumption that you have tried an Aperol spritz, but what if you haven’t? I vote that we all make some this weekend and decide for ourselves. I, for one, find the Aperol spritz to be entirely delightful.
The Aperol spritz has been in the spotlight over the past week, since the New York Times boldly declared that “ The Aperol Spritz Is Not a Good Drink.” Grub Street shot back that the “ Entire Internet Agrees Aperol Spritz Is, in Fact, Good.” I’ll gladly sip one on our front porch now, overlooking our overgrown front yard, and later, with a view of the Italian Riviera. We’re going to Italy this summer, so I’m celebrating with this classic Aperol spritz recipe! Aperol spritzes are ultra refreshing, not-too-sweet bubbly cocktails.Ī proper Aperol spritz tastes like summertime in Italy and looks like a golden orange sunset.
