Notes
Chill Prosecco and glass before making the cocktail. Use large ice cubes to slow dilution. Stir gently to preserve bubbles. Adjust ratios to taste. Add simple syrup if a sweeter spritz is desired. For non-alcoholic version, substitute Prosecco with sparkling white grape juice and Aperol with a non-alcoholic bitter orange aperitif.
