Venetian Aperol Spritz
Wonderfully refreshing on a hot summers day, the Aperol Spritz is a Venetian classic. Serve over ice with a slice of orange and an olive.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 40 ml Aperol or Campari or Cynar
- 60 ml Prosecco
- 20 ml Soda water
- 1 slice Orange or lemon
- 1 Large green olive (see notes)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Put a handful of ice cubes into a large wine glass or tumbler
- Pour the Aperol/ Campari/ Cynar over the ice
- Top up with Processo and soda water
- Skewer an olive onto a long cocktail stick add to the glass and stir briefly
- Garnish with the orange or lemon
Notes
1. Choose olives preserved in brine rather than oil - otherwise you'll end up with an oily drink. 2. I found Queen Olives at my local Waitrose - they are the biggest I've seen in the UK
