Sparking water topper allows you to have more,more,more. Couple of “twists” ..in Venice add a lovely olive for the perfect contrast taste/color but also because well, it’s Venice. And in my little Tuscan hilltown specify Spritz Royale for Prosecco otherwise dry white wine is used. All good .

Try substituting cappelletti for the aperol. Cappelletti is a bit more bitter than aperol, but we have come to prefer it.

I also discovered this cocktail in Italy some years ago. I asked the waiter what the orange drink was everyone was having. He said Aperol Spritz. I loved it and lucky for me, I can easily find Aperol at the Virginia ABC stores. I also add a splash of sparkling mineral water.

I first discovered this refreshing summer cocktail in northern Italy and quickly became a fan. Now, thanks to Aperol's advertising campaign, it's readily available in the states. It's the perfect cocktail for people who don't drink much, especially on a warm day.

One of our favorite summer cocktails also. One addition is we add a half ounce of St. Germaine (elderberry liqueur) and use the sparkling water.

Me too! Next time you're in the city we'll drink them. (Book party refreshments???)
