Before the debate sparked by the New York Times article, my friend Teal introduced me to the Aperol Spritz.
I am already a fan of wine spritzers. My favorite way to create them is a Sauvignon Blanc with Waterloo Sparkling Water, preferably their new Strawberry flavor.
When trying making an Aperol Spritz at home I wanted to try the Lime Waterloo instead of Soda. I’ve never been a fan of Soda. Since you only need a splash, I thought Lime Waterloo would be perfect. Spoiler alert, it is!
The mix of bubbly Prosecco and sparkling water served over ice is delightfully refreshing. That is what makes the Aperol Spritz a great poolside cocktail for the summer.
To make an Aperol Spritz, you need:
- Ice
- Prosecco
- Aperol
- Waterloo Lime Sparkling Water
- an Orange
Generously fill a glass with ice. Most recipes say equal parts Prosecco and Aperol, but I like to do more Prosecco and less Aperol. Splash of Sparkling Water, and squeeze of orange finished off with an orange slice for garnish.
