Before the debate sparked by the New York Times article, my friend Teal introduced me to the Aperol Spritz.
I am already a fan of wine spritzers. My favorite way to create them is a Sauvignon Blanc with Waterloo Sparkling Water, preferably their new Strawberry flavor.
When trying making an Aperol Spritz at home I wanted to try the Lime Waterloo instead of Soda. I’ve never been a fan of Soda. Since you only need a splash, I thought Lime Waterloo would be perfect. Spoiler alert, it is!
The mix of bubbly Prosecco and sparkling water served over ice is delightfully refreshing. That is what makes the Aperol Spritz a great poolside cocktail for the summer.
To make an Aperol Spritz, you need:
- Ice
- Prosecco
- Aperol
- Waterloo Lime Sparkling Water
- an Orange
Generously fill a glass with ice. Most recipes say equal parts Prosecco and Aperol, but I like to do more Prosecco and less Aperol. Splash of Sparkling Water, and squeeze of orange finished off with an orange slice for garnish.

What is your favorite summer cocktail, besides the Aperol Spritz?
This looks like such a delicious cocktail- perfect for lounging around during the summer! I love adding Aperol to our concoctions- gives it an extra touch (and makes me feel fancy)
Um, okay, just the color of that drink alone makes me crave summer and a delish drink! I’ve never had Aperol before, but now I have to try it! Thanks so much for sharing!
I never would have thought about mixing Prosecco and Aperol, but these look delish! I love good poolside drinks for the summer! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh these cocktails look so delicious and refreshing! I am partial to an Aperol every now and then so maybe I need to give this a go. Lovely imagery to go along with your text.
This is just what I need to wrap up a busy week!! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
While it’s raining outside my window right now, this drink has me dreaming of summer days. I’m not usually a cocktail person but orange is most recent obsession-so this drink sounds amazing! Not cocktail related but you’ll have to try Baileys and Frangelico on the rocks, it is too good to be true.
I am not really a drinker but this looks like something I would want to try. I have never had a wine spritzer, I totally need to catch up, lol. Loving the pretty look of this cocktail I will have to give it a try!
Oh, that looks like such a delicious drink for the summer! I usually like sangria during this time of the year, especially when it time to do all the grilling and BBQ’ing haha.
