Spritz

This is not a recipe as such, just a beverage I feel needs to be shared with you.  It is a drink I delight in once a day, and introduce to all that come to visit me!  This drink is served during "aperitivo" in Italy, a ritual most Italians participate in to enjoy a pre-diner drink and snack.   You can find people young and old delighting in conversation at one of the many bars around Italy enjoying a Spritz.  It is more common to see people drinking it in the North of Italy as it is originally from Venice.  It can be served with Campari or Aperol, I prefer the sweetness of Aperol!  It is the PERFECT drink to enjoy on a hot summer's evening.

What you need:

Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine)

A dash of Aperol (or Campari)

Top with sparkling soda water

Slice of orange

Serve in a low ball or wine glass over ice.

Salute!
