Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Aperol Spritz

Use a large wine glass

Firstly, it is traditionally served in a large wine glass, filled with ice.

Ratio of Aperol to Prosecco

This drink typically consists of 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, and a splash of soda water.

Add ice

Add plenty of ice to the wine glass before pouring in the Prosecco and Aperol. This will keep the drink cool and refreshing.

Garnish with orange

It adds a sweetness touch and complements the Aperol’s bitter notes.

Stir gently

Stir the ingredients gently to combine them, being careful not to stir too vigorously and cause the drink to lose its bubbles.

How to serve Aperol Spritz

There are various ways to enjoy Aperol Spritz, and one of them is to pair it with some delicious sides. You can try breadsticks and olives, which is a classic pairing. Another option is to serve carrot and celery sticks with a dip or mayonnaise.

For something heartier, try Vincenzo’s Plate Tuna Pasta Salad, which is the chef’s personal favorite. Additionally, with these sides, you can truly indulge in the Italian aperitivo experience in the comfort of your own home.
