Aperol Spritz Recipe

The Aperol spritz is an aperitif, which means it’s usually consumed right before dinner. Its taste matches perfectly with many small snacks, but it can also be consumed as a well-deserved drink after a long day at the office!

We believe that “the spritz” is so popular because it only consists of 3 ingredients: Aperol, prosecco, and club soda. The saying “less is more” really applies to this orange drink!
