The more Aperol the better. Prove me wrong. #drink #recipe #drinkrecipe #aperolspritz #spritz #italia

If you’ve never had the chance to see what all the hype around this drink is about, it all comes down to the spritz’s signature ingredient, Aperol, an Italian liqueur known for its bitter orange flavor. Its bittersweet taste complements perfectly when combined with Prosecco and a splash of soda water, which adds a touch of sweetness and further lightens the drink.

This harmonious combination appeals to a wide range of palates and just might make you move your margaritas aside to make room for it in the next round.
