I've been slowly trying Ina Garten's cocktails and I'm so excited to be working my way through her entire collection. They're just too easy to make, and they look so pretty!

I was really looking forward to trying the Aperol Spritzer, but I'm sad to say it wasn't my favorite. It was more bitter than sweet—and I'm just a sweet cocktail kind of girl. That said, if you're into bitter drinks, this is the cocktail for you!

Ingredients:

Ice cubes

1 (750 ml) bottle Prosecco, chilled 

12 ounces Aperol, such as Barbieri 

San Pellegrino or other sparkling water, chilled 

6 half-round slices of orange or blood orange 

Directions:

For each drink, fill a 14- to 16-ounce tumbler three-quarters full with ice. Fill each glass two-thirds full with Prosecco, add 2 ounces of the Aperol, a splash of San Pellegrino, and an orange slice, and stir. Serve ice cold.
