    The best Aperol Spritz recipe

    The Aperol Spritz is probably the ultimate Italian aperitif! The Spritz was born in Venice in the 19th century. However, it has evolved a lot over the years. At the very beginning, it was just a dash of sparkling water added to a glass of white wine. Later, Aperol, the Italian bitter liqueur, was added. Finally, Prosecco replaced the white wine and the Aperol Spritz as we know it today was born!

    The Aperol Spritz is perfect to enjoy as an aperitif. Not too sweet, not too bitter, you’ll love it! Moreover, you can adjust the quantity of sparkling water to lengthen the alcohol. You can always garnish your drink with a slice or two of orange for a nice decoration!

    In partnership with Monsieur Cocktail, BPT presents its version of the Aperol Spritz. We add a dash of grapefruit syrup, and it’s really delicious. Beware! For bitter lovers only! You can also make a strawberry version of this cocktail! A strawberry Aperol Spritz is a real treat!

    BON APPETIT: This Aperol Spritz recipe goes perfectly with this salmon and tuna Poke Bowl!
