Easy Aperol Spritz Recipe
For my version of an Aperol Spritz, I swap the traditional club soda for freshly squeezed orange juice. It's just a touch sweeter than the classic, but just as refreshing!
Servings: 1 glass
Ingredients
- Ice
- 1 ½ ounces fresh orange juice, I used juice of 1 small cara cara orange, plus orange slices for garnish
- 3 ounces chilled Aperol, 2 shots
- 3 ounces chilled dry prosecco, 2 shots
Instructions
- Fill a wine goblet with ice nearly to the top.
- Pour in the orange juice, Aperol, and prosecco.
- Add an orange slice for garnish. Enjoy immediately!

Notes
- Chill the prosecco and Aperol: You don’t want the ice to dilute the drink; having chilled ingredients will help.
- Make one cocktail at a time: This recipe is best made one at a time, rather than making a large batch. This makes a fresh, fizzy drink as it is easier to control the amount of ice used. Make more as needed.
- Use a dry Prosecco: This is not supposed to be too sweet a cocktail. Any good wine shop or liquor store would be able to recommend the right Prosecco (medium dry or dry would work). I find the squeezed orange juice tames the bitterness of Aperol without making the drink too sweet.
