Its light, refreshing notes come from Prosecco (or other sparkling wine) and a splash of club soda. A couple of ounces of Aperol give the drink its signature bitter flavor. Use a tall glass or deep wine goblet to serve chilled over plenty of ice. Add an orange wheel to the glass for a pretty pop of color and bright citrus flavor. 13 Genius 1-Ingredient Twists on the Classic Aperol Spritz to Try This Summer Our Favorite Twists on the Spritz For a variation on the Aperol Spritz, try a Hugo Spritz, which subs in elderflower syrup or liqueur for the Aperol.
