Classic Cocktail: Aperol Spritz

Lately, I've been on a bit of an Aperol kick. Daniel is a huge fan of Campari, which is a bitter herbal liqueur that I am still working on acquiring a taste for. Aperol is like the sweeter, younger brother of Campari. The Aperol spritz is a lovely refreshing summer drink that combines sweet, bitter, & bubbly in the perfect easy proportions. It's a classic Italian drink, so I feel very sophisticated and passionate while I sip this on a hot-blooded summer weekend. 




I like mine with one and a half ounces Aperol + sparkling wine to taste, served up with a lemon or orange twist. On exceptionally hot days I prefer it on the rocks. 

Here's a cute video from Martha Stewart showing her preferred recipe for the Aperol Spritz.
