Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Build all ingredients in a wine glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir gently.
  3. Garnish with orange slice.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the Spritz

In Venice a Spritz can be made with Aperol, Campari or Select. Select, created in Venice in 1920, bills itself as the original Venetian spritz bitter.

Missing something?

  • No Prosecco? Use Champagne (Drier and toastier)
  • No Aperol? Use Campari (More bitter, so use a bit less)
