Rosemary Aperol Spritz Recipe
There's a new brunch cocktail in town: the Rosemary Aperol Spritz. It's light, bubbly, and fruity, making it the perfect pre-meal appetizer.
Servings: 1
Equipment
- Stemmed cocktail glass
- Jigger
- Cocktail stirrer
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Ice molds (optional)
Ingredients
- 10 oz prosecco or champagne
- 2 oz aperol liquor
- 2 - 4 oz club soda orange flavored or plain
- 2 slices fresh oranges for garnish
- rosemary for garnish
Instructions
- Firstly, pop open that bubbly! If you are going to make prosecco ice cubes, they need about 4-6 hours of chilling. So pour it into your molds and get it in the freezer.
- Next, pick your glassware of choice. I love these stemmed wine glass or something circular. Then, add ice or frozen prosecco cubes.
- Pour in Aperol.
- Then, pour in prosecco.
- Top your drink with sparkling water or club soda.
- Give it a nice stir.
- Lastly, garnish with 2-3 orange slices and rosemary or thyme for extra ~aesthetic~.
- PLEASE enjoy responsibly!
Notes
This is a lighter drink as aperol is only 11% alcohol by volume and prosecco is closer to 12%, depending on the brand. These ingredients diluted down with the club soda keep the booze level relatively low, which again is a great reason to have as a pre-dinner drink!
Most grocery stores will have some form of a flavored sparkling beverage. San Pelligrino, La Croix, Bubbly, Perrier, Spindrift, etc. all have their version of an orange club soda. That said, unflavored is also perfectly fine.
