Friend Joanne has been sending pics from Italy daily and an Aperol Spritz is showing up regularly. Delicious, a bit bitter and thirst quenching, this Italian aperitif doesn’t disappoint.
Aperol Spritz
Using a nice dry Prosecco, mixed with the Aperol just ups the experience. Think of hot summer days in Italy. We prefer adding a drop of Angostura Orange Bitters to the spritz.
Ingredients
- 2 oz (4 TBSP) Aperol 20 CHO
- 2 oz (4 TBSP) Dry Prosecco .25 CHO
- 1 drop Angostura Orange Bitters 0 CHO
- 1 slice orange 0 CHO
TOTAL CHO PER DRINK 20.25 CHO
Instructions
- Ice in drinks is a very personal thing. Use as much or as little as you prefer. More ice will dilute the drink. I prefer 2-3 cubes; Mike likes double that.
- Add ice to a white wine glass. Then add Aperol, Prosecco, Angostura Orange Bitters and orange slice.
- Give the glass a swirl and dream of Italy.
