Cocktail stirrer
Cutting Board
Knife
Ice molds (optional)
- 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
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!
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.
