1 fresh orange slice, for garnish

Directions

1

Make It Your Own
The classic spritz is made with equal parts Prosecco and Aperol, but we love a 3:2 ratio as it allows our Prosecco to enhance the bitterness of the Italian apéritif with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus in a way that makes for easy, everyday drinking throughout the hot summer months.
