Prosecco and Aperol Cocktail
This prosecco and Aperol cocktail, with its subtle effervescence and slightly sweet, citrusy, herbal, bitter flavor profile, may just be the ultimate simple yet sophisticated sipper. Made with sparkling white wine and the classic aperitif along with a twist.
Ingredients
- 1/2 to 1 1/2 ounces Aperol* (see * below)
- Prosecco, (chilled, natch)
- Orange twist , (optional)
Instructions
- When you’re anticipating making this cocktail, rinse some fluted glasses and stick them straight in the freezer to chill. Even if they're in there just 5 minutes, it'll help keep your cocktail cooler longer.
- Pour the Aperol into a well-chilled flute. Top it off with Prosecco and, if desired, garnish with an orange twist. Cin cin! [Editor's Note: That's Italian for "cheers!"]
Notes
*What You Need To Know About The Proportion Of Aperol To Prosecco
Kindly note, when you look at the ingredients list in this recipe, that there’s a rather large variance in the proportion of Aperol to prosecco. Start with the lesser amount of Aperol. For some, it’ll be too little. For others, it’s juuuuuuuuuust right. Go ahead and play with the proportions. Practice makes perfect. And when you do find your sweet spot, take note of the amounts for future reference and then settle into what folks are referring to as “an elegant and classic cocktail” and “a combination that’s magical in all ways.”Nutrition
