Notes
Aperol - This is an orange-coloured, sweet and bitter aperitif from Italy. It is the main ingredient of this cocktail and cannot be substituted.Prosecco - This is a sparkling Italian wine. There are many versions of this wine out there. Use a dry prosecco that is not very sweet. My favourite brand is Debortoli or Brown Brothers.Soda Water - Soda water is carbonated water with a lot more fizz added to it. This is what you want to use as opposed to light sparkling water.Garnish - Orange slice is the traditional option. You can mix it up by using blood orange or grapefruit instead.
