Is this the Best APEROL SPRITZ Recipe Ever!?

The Spritz dates back to the 1800s but Aperol wasn't created until 1919. It gained popularity in the 1920s and 30s and soon became the bitter liqueur of choice for the Spritz. Gruppo Campari bought Aperol in 2003 and embarked on a huge advertising and marketing campaign, solidifying the brands pairing with the Spritz.

APEROL SPRITZ RECIPE (PDT version)

The Aperol Spritz is a bittersweet, refreshing summer sipper. This is PDT's version with a lower of Prosecco and the addition of freshly squeezed orange juice for a slightly sweeter and even more sessionable Spritz.

INGREDIENTS
- 60ml Aperol (2 oz)
- 30ml Prosecco (1 oz)
- 30ml Soda Water (1 oz)
- 15ml Orange Juice (0.5 oz)

Even if you aren't an Aperol Spritz fan, you should try PDT's recipe! Pretty pumped to put together tomorrow's Venetian Spritz video - a little history of the Spritz as well as other traditional alternatives. Stay tuned!

When Aperol representatives comes to events at my bar they actually teach us a different - much more efficient order:

Prosecco - aperol - fill w ice - soda top

This way it mixes automatically and serving is both quicker and more consistent .

Thx for another great vid Steve!👍🙏

Number 1 for me, all day. It's my go-to all summer long and whenever I fly to Europe it's a must-have when sitting outdoors, "people-watching" :)

I’m From Padova, the italian city where spritz originated. You have got to try spritz misto. 30ml aperol, 30ml Campari, 90 ml prosecco and just a little bit of soda

I am Italian and my favorite Aperol spritz is made with:
2 parts of aperol
3 parts of Franciacorta brut (an italian prosecco)
1part of seltz water
For Campari spritz i prefer using
5 parts Franciacorta brut
2 parts Campari
1 part seltz

Love that you're tasting and giving feedback. Especially liked this episode where you made two different variations. As a non bitter lover I like that you're explaining which one you think we'll like and why. I would love to hear your personal favorite tho. I know that it's not always easy to pick a favorite and that if often depends on the mood, seemed like the case between these two ;)

Just the perfect summer drink for any occasion!!!

This is perfect timing. I was just on vacation and tried getting my family to enjoy a Negroni. Epic fail. My mom told me that when she was in Italy she couldnt get into Aperol. When I go back I'll bring the PDT version with me and I'll win them over.

my favorite is 1 part Aperol, 1 part Campari, 3 part prosecco and a splash of soda.Garnish with orange slice. I usually rub my glass with orange peel at the beginning

My first Aperol Spritz...Ever! I tried one without the orange juice, one with. OMG! both absolutely delicious but my favorite, with the orange juice.
Thank you so much for the recipe!❤

I substitute the soda water for a lemon lime soda for the extra sweetness/flavor and to me it's a bit better. I'm not big on sweet drinks, but this is a summer drink, so it gets a pass.

Had Aperol Spritz for the New Year and I must admit, it was really tasty! I prefer bitterness over sweetness so these are perfect)) Happy New Year everybody!

An Aperol Spritz is a wonderful thing to drink in hot weather. Loved drinking them when I was in Venice a few summers ago.
