Fill two large wine glasses generously with ice and swirl to chill the glass.
💡 More ice melts slower — a full glass keeps the drink colder and less diluted.
Pour the prosecco over the ice first, dividing it between the glasses.
💡 Prosecco first stops the heavier Aperol from sinking into a syrupy layer at the bottom.
Add the Aperol, letting it drift down through the bubbles.
Top each glass with a splash of soda water and give one gentle stir.
Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately, ideally outdoors at golden hour.
The spritz descends from Austrian soldiers in 19th-century Veneto who splashed water into local wine, and found its modern orange form when Aperol arrived in Padua in 1919. Today the 3-2-1 formula is the unofficial start of the Italian evening.
