Hugo Limoncello Spritz
Method
Aperol Spritz
Glass prep
Chill a wine glass or large rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with a handful of ice to cool while assembling ingredients.
Fill the chilled glass three-quarters full with ice cubes (about 4–6 large cubes).
Pour 3 oz Aperol over the ice.
Add 4 oz chilled Prosecco slowly; pour over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles.
Top with 1 oz chilled soda water. Adjust soda to taste if you want a lighter drink.
Stir gently once with a bar spoon — three slow turns — to combine without flattening the bubbles.
Garnish with one orange slice placed on the rim or floated in the glass.
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
