Aperol Spritz: A Coastal Classic with an Italian Soul

Effortlessly chic and undeniably refreshing, the Aperol Spritz has become a signature of sophisticated coastal living. Whether enjoyed on a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast or aboard a sleek yacht gliding through the Mediterranean, this iconic cocktail embodies the essence of la dolce vita. Vibrant, effervescent, and subtly bittersweet, the Aperol Spritz is a toast to the sea breeze, warm afternoons, and timeless elegance.

Here’s how to craft the perfect Aperol Spritz.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz (90 ml) Prosecco: Dry and sparkling, offering a light, celebratory lift
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Aperol: The vibrant orange aperitivo with bittersweet herbal notes
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Soda water: Just a splash for effervescence
  • Ice: Generous cubes to keep it crisp and cool
  • Orange slice: For a sun-kissed, citrusy finish

Instructions

  1. Fill a large wine glass generously with ice—think of it as preparing your glass for a voyage of flavor.
  2. Pour in the Prosecco first. Let its dry bubbles dance freely across the ice.
  3. Add Aperol gently, creating a rich coral hue that’s as mesmerizing as a Mediterranean sunset.
  4. Top with soda water, just enough to open the flavors and enhance the sparkle.
  5. Garnish with a fresh orange slice, perched elegantly on the rim or floating atop the surface like a drifting sail.

Supremarine Pairing Notes

Enjoy your Aperol Spritz alongside grilled seafood, marinated olives, or a charcuterie board with ocean views. It’s the perfect aperitivo to set the tone for an evening of salt-kissed serenity and coastal indulgence.
