Aperol spritz

Bitter orange refreshment

An Aperol spritz is a cocktail made with Aperol (an Italian orange-flavored aperitif), prosecco, and a splash of soda water, typically served over ice with an orange slice.

The drink became ubiquitous at brunch spots and outdoor cafés in the 2010s: We ordered Aperol spritzes on the patio.
