In fact that this drink is misused everywhere I decided to make it a little special! I’m from Austria and it’s our thing to drink „Spritzer“! 1/8l soda mixed with 1/8l white wine dry! What the bars do in Austria, is, to add 20 ml aperol to a „spritzer“! That kills both of this drinks, the „Spritzer“ and the aperol Spritz! So I decided to do 125ml of Prosecco, 100ml of soda, 60 ml of aperol, 15 ml of fresh pressed orange juice and 10 ml of freshest pressed lemon juice! Give this a try! And let me know what You think! Kisses

You have gotten me hooked on Aperol! I tried it as the spritz but as it's just me drinking it I didn't want to commit to a whole bottle of bubbly and just tried it with the two versions on canned Prosecco my local Dan Murphy's had. It was ok, but I do want to try it with something nicer at some stage. But what I have discovered is that I love it with just a couple of shots of Aperol and topped up with soda/mineral water, a lot of ice and a big wedge of orange. It is the perfect summer drink for when I shouldn't be drinking 😜😂.

Just made myself one of these following your instructions (Aperol was £12 with my Tesco clubcard tonight - so I thought why not? I'll try anything once!) My glass has 150ml of cava, 100 ml of Aperol and 50ml of soda in it :) [my double jigger is 25m/50ml] Amazing how the wine is 50% of the drink, but it's the Aperol that dominates (tastes quite a bit like a Negroni) - Aperol is very much like Campari - I'm guessing it could be used as a substitute? It's a very entertaining drink, not just the taste - but the deep orange colour (yours is paler - probably because I left only enough room for half the ice!) I would say this is a success - Cheers!

Supermarkets sell it - it's just carbonated water and sodium bicarbonate.

"The story goes..." Only that the story is nonsense. From the late 18th century on wine producers were allowed to serve their products tax free to customers directly during a limited time of the year. This was made known by putting a bunch of evergreen boughs over the entrance. The typical drink is a White Spritz (weißer Spritzer) made with (often annual) wine and soda. This tradition still can be found in Austria and in the Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia that former belonged to the Habsburg Empire. The Aperol Spritz is just a more recent version of the everyday Spritz that was served. Maybe also as a result of the intensified marketing for the Spritz in the last decades.
@bronstet4 жыл бұрын
I love everything about the Aperol Spritz except for one tiny little thing -- the Aperol! :D For exactly the reasons you mentioned: it's cheap, sweet, low ABV and less bitter. Blech. It's literally less of everything you pay for in a classic red Italian bitter aperitivo! They just cover up this cheap aperitivo with loads of sugar and orange extract. Does anyone other than me not go "Hrrrrmmm" at this?!? Yeesh. I much prefer to make this with an actual good red Italian bitter aperitivo like Antico Rosso or Campari Cask Tales. P.S. What kind of alleged bar professional misses the glass right underneath her and pours the ice all over the table? I know you said your arm was out of practice in a previous video but I didn't realize it was that bad! Rehab is in order! I recommend getting the arm back in shape by lifting several cocktail glasses to the lips, emptying the glass down the gullet, refilling, and lifting again. You should do several sets of these on a daily basis. ;D
