What is Aperol Spritz?
Aperol Spritz is a classic cocktail that originated in Italy, and is particularly popular throughout Europe. The main ingredients are Aperol, Prosecco, and soda water.
What is Prosecco?
Prosecco is a sparkling white wine traditionally made in a specific region of Italy. It is mostly made from a grape varietal called Glera, and is often compared to Champagne (another sparkling wine).
What does an Aperol Spritz taste like?
Aperol is a liqueur with a lightly bitter taste, while Prosecco is a dry sparkling wine with a bit of a fruity flavor. Combining the two creates a cocktail that, overall, tastes both sweet and bitter, while remaining super refreshing. You might also pick up on orange and citrus flavors from the Aperol.
What appetizers go well with this cocktail?
This apertif is often served before dinner, so make sure to pair it with some appetizers or snacks to nibble on while you drink. I recommend serving your Aperol Spritz along with Buffalo Chickpea Dip, Crab Rangoon Bites, or these Antipasto Skewers. This Aperol Spritz recipe will be your new go-to summer cocktail. Sweet, bitter, lightly fruity, and endlessly refreshing!
