Ina Garten's Aperol Spritzer Recipe

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.
