Classic Orange Spritz

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Makes 1 cocktail

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 1.5 oz orange aperitif liqueur such as Aperol
  • 3 oz chilled prosecco
  • 2 oz chilled club soda
  • 1 thin orange wheel for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a stemmed wine glass three-quarters full with ice cubes, until the glass feels cold against your hand.
  • Pour 1.5 oz orange aperitif liqueur over the ice, letting the color settle at the bottom of the glass.
  • Add 3 oz chilled prosecco slowly, tilting the glass slightly so the foam does not rise past the rim.
  • Top with 2 oz chilled club soda and stir once with a bar spoon, just enough to lift the orange color through the whole glass without flattening the bubbles.
  • Tuck a thin orange wheel against the inside of the glass and serve right away, while the glass is still sweating on the outside.

Good to Know

To batch for a crowd, mix 1 part liqueur to 2 parts prosecco in a pitcher ahead of time, chill, and add the soda and ice only when glasses are poured.
