Drink Ingredients
- Crushed ice
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed blood orange juice
- 3 ounces Aperol
- 4 ounces prosecco
- 1 ounce club soda or blood orange Italian soda
- Blood orange slices for garnish
- Optional: frozen fruit for ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill your glass with crushed ice to chill and create a refreshing base for the spritz.
- Add the blood orange juice: Pour 2 ounces of freshly squeezed blood orange juice over the ice for a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Layer in the Aperol and prosecco: Add 3 ounces of Aperol followed by 4 ounces of prosecco. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without losing the bubbles.
- Top with soda: Finish the drink by adding 1 ounce of club soda or blood orange Italian soda to add a fizzy lift and lighten the mixture.
- Garnish: Drop in a blood orange wedge for a beautiful and fragrant garnish, and optionally add frozen fruit as ice cubes for added flavor and aesthetics.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy this spritz while cold and bubbly for the best experience.
Notes
- Use fresh blood orange juice for the best flavor, but bottled can be a substitute if necessary.
- Frozen fruit cubes not only chill the drink but also add subtle flavor as they melt.
- Be gentle when stirring to preserve the carbonation of prosecco and soda.
- Adjust the amount of club soda to taste depending on how light or strong you prefer your spritz.
- This cocktail is best served fresh to preserve its effervescence and bright flavors.
