Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
