An Aperol Spritz is a basic Italian cocktail made with Aperol liquor, Prosecco (wine!), soda water, and usually garnished with an orange slice. That’s it! To my shock, I didn’t even understand this cocktail had a sort of glowing wine in it till I had already ordered one other at my favourite beachside restaurant.
