Notes

  • Don’t skip the garnish: The orange slice enhances both aroma and visual appeal.
  • Low-stir method: A gentle stir keeps the bubbles alive and the drink layered.
  • Prosecco: Choose a dry (Brut) or extra dry Prosecco;  avoid sweet or flavored versions.
  • Soda water: Use unflavored club soda, served chilled. Avoid tonic or flavored seltzer.
  • Campari Spritz – Swap Aperol for Campari for a darker, more bitter taste.
  • Citrus Twist – Add a splash of blood orange juice for extra zing.
  • Herbal Touch – Add a sprig of rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.
