What is Aperol spritz?
Aperol spritz is an Italian aperitif cocktail made with Aperol, prosecco and soda water, traditionally served over ice with a slice of orange. Its bright citrus flavour balances a gently bitter-sweet taste, while the sparkling wine and soda give it a light, bubbly texture.
In Italy it is often sipped before dinner with small snacks; elsewhere, it also suits a relaxed gathering or a sunny afternoon.

Pair it with olives or other savoury bites, and remember that it is still an alcoholic drink despite being a relatively light cocktail.
