Start by taking a large wine glass and fill it generously with ice cubes. This ensures that your spritz stays refreshingly cold and delightful.
Pour in 3 ounces of Aperol over the ice. This vibrant orange liqueur will give your drink a stunning color and a slightly bitter taste that balances perfectly with the sweetness of cranberry juice.
Next, add 3 ounces of cranberry juice. Opt for a quality juice, as it will significantly enhance the flavor of your drink.
Slowly pour in 3 ounces of prosecco. You want to do this gently to maintain the bubbles, which will keep your drink lively and effervescent.
Top it off with 1 ounce of soda water for that extra fizz. This will also help to mellow the sweetness and bitterness, creating a well-rounded cocktail.
To garnish, drop a few fresh cranberries into the glass and add a slice of orange for a pop of color and a hint of citrusy aroma that complements the drink beautifully.
Give everything a gentle stir to combine—this is important to ensure you get a bit of every flavor in each sip!
Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful cranberry Aperol spritz on a sunny afternoon or during a cozy gathering. Cheers!
