- 40 ml Aperol
- 20 ml Sloe Gin
- 60 ml Soda water (club soda)
- 60 ml Prosecco
Garnish
- Ice
- 1 Rosemary sprig
- 5 Raspberries
- 1 Orange slice
Put the ice into a large glass - a balloon wine glass or a Copa glass is ideal.
Pour in the Aperol and sloe gin.
Top with the soda water and Prosecco.
Put the rosemary sprig in the palm of one hand and clap the other hand down sharply on it. This helps release the aroma. Drop into the glass.
Add the orange slice and raspberries.
Serve immediately.
- Choose a large glass – like a tumbler or a wine glass. This is a relatively long serve with plenty of ice included to keep it cold on scorching days, so pick a suitably large glass.
- If using fine glassware add the ice to the glass carefully – this is purely to avoid the ice hitting the bottom of the glass at speed and shattering it (says the voice of experience – I ruined my favourite glass).
- For best results, use chilled ingredients, so the ice does not melt too quickly or dilute the drink too much.
- Always use freshly opened Prosecco and soda water to ensure enough sparkle is in the drink.
- Just making for one or two people? Consider using a mini bottle of Prosecco to avoid it going flat.
