A BLONDE VINTAGE

Every summer, it seems like I choose a new “drink of choice” and then I majorly fan girl all over it until one of two things happen. It becomes too cold to drink during the winter, or I burn out on it. Can you relate? Well, one drink I have yet to burn out on is this cocktail, an oldie but a goodie, the Aperol Spritz. Now, Italy has been perfecting the “Aperitivo Hour”, also known as “Spritz Hour” for decades and decades, and enjoying an Aperol Spritz while watching the sunset over the Amalfi coast was one of my favorite parts about vacationing in Italy. Today, I thought I’d share with you the simplest Aperol Spritz Recipe! Once you have your cocktail in hand, sit back, take a sip, close your eyes and take a trip to Italy! Cheers friends!

Many people wonder what the “3 2 1” means for the Aperol Spritz Recipe 3 2 1. Well, in order to be called a spritz, a drink needs only to loosely follow the formula: three parts bubbly, two parts bitter, one part soda. (3-2-1) And then add citrus as a garnish.

What is Aperol? Aperol is a popular Italian aperitif and created in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers in Padua, Italy. Aperol is made from a blend of bitter oranges, herbs, and roots. Aperol is most famously used in the Aperol Spritz, a refreshing cocktail that’s a mix of Aperol, prosecco, and a splash of soda water, typically garnished with an orange slice. It has a relatively low alcohol content, making it a light and enjoyable option for pre-dinner drinks.
