Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more refreshing spritz, put your glasses in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before making the drink! ❄️🍊

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Sparkling and alcoholic drinks don't freeze well (loss of bubbles, altered flavor).

Storage : How long does it keep?

Not suited to batch cooking. Make it to order to keep the fizz and freshness.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Not suited to making the day before. Loss of carbon dioxide and diluted flavors.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not relevant. Drink served cold over ice.

Variations

Add a little more sparkling water for a lighter spritz.
Garnish with an orange twist instead of the slice.
Serve in a large wine glass filled with ice.

Mistakes to avoid

Pouring in the wrong order: ice first, then Aperol, prosecco, and finally the sparkling water.
Stirring too hard: stir gently with a bar spoon to keep the bubbles.
Forgetting the ice: fill the glass with ice before pouring.
