Ingredients

  • mixer

    Italian sparkling wine. Lighter and fruitier than champagne.

  • liqueur

    Italian bitter aperitif with bright orange and rhubarb notes; lower ABV than Campari.

  • mixer

    Plain carbonated water. Lengthens and lifts a drink without adding flavor.

Method

  1. Fill a wine glass with ice.

  2. Pour Prosecco, then Aperol, then a splash of soda.

    The order matters — Prosecco first preserves the bubbles.

  3. Stir gently once and garnish with an orange slice.

Garnish

  • Orange Peel
