The classic Aperol Spritz stands alongside the Americano as an essential aperitif cocktail, a beverage enjoyed before a meal to whet the appetite. While we maintain our conviction that sparkling wine enhances nearly everything, an excess of it can overwhelm delicate flavors. In the case of this drink, which features Aperol, the most subtle of aperitifs, less is more. Increasing the quantity of sparkling wine would make it excessively alcoholic. Hence, it incorporates seltzer to maintain a refreshing and effervescent quality without unduly altering the flavour profile.
50ml Aperol
