Aperol Spritz is a light and refreshing drink you'll want to try. It's the signature drink of Aperol, a bittersweet orange-flavored aperitif made in Italy using a secret blend of herbs and roots. It became popular in Italy in the 1950s and has since become one of the most well-known and beloved cocktails in the country.

This recipe is sometimes called the "Aperol Spritz ritual". First comes the ice, then the Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine), followed by Aperol (an Italian aperitif similar to Campari but sweeter in taste), then soda water. The drink is usually not stirred, relying on the bubbles.

The cocktail is very tasty and refreshing due to the combination of the bitter and sweet flavors of Aperol and orange zest. Aperol Spritz is typically served in tall glasses with ice and garnished with fruits such as oranges, lemons, or cherries.

The cocktail has a relatively low alcohol content (11%), making it perfect for warm summer days.
