Who doesn’t love a spritz on a warm summer evening with friends! Make a big pitcher or individual glasses if that’s your preference.

My Aperol Spritz is a little different from the traditional spritz. I add a drop of bitters AND vodka, yes, you heard it right! Feel free to omit the vodka and add Aperol instead for a sweeter flavor. I also added a couple drops of Aromatic Bitters.

What you’ll need

• Aperol (available at most grocery stores)
• Vodka (optional)
• Orange slices
• Prosesso
• Selzer water
• Aeromatic bitters

Fill your wine glasses with ice cubes. Add Prosecco followed by Vodka and Aperol. Add a drop of bitters and a splash of selzer water, stir, add orange slices and serve. Cheers!

Make sure to try our French Elder and Lavender Martini!
