Recipe Notes
The new recipe:
3 parts Prosecco, 3 parts Aperol, 1 part soda water
.
The sweeter version:
3 parts sparkling Moschato D'Asti, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part soda water
.
Tips:
For an extra chilled drink, store the wine, the aperol, and the soda in the fridge a few hours before serving. This way the ice cubes will not melt very fast and dilute your drink.
Add the ice cubes at the beginning or at the end? It actually doesn’t make a dramatic difference, but if you want to preserve most of the bubbles I find it is best to add the ice cubes at the end.
