PRESENTATION

Bright, bold color really sets an Aperol Spritz apart—there’s something about that orange glow that just feels right for sunny afternoons and relaxed get-togethers. This bubbly Italian cocktail is always a hit with anyone who wants a drink that feels refreshing, crisp, and a little bit special, thanks to the right blend of Prosecco and Aperol. You get the perfect balance—bittersweet herbal notes mix with that sparkling fizz, making every sip both light and nice. Great choice for family celebrations, brunches with friends, or even just an easy Friday evening on the back porch… Families really appreciate how inviting it looks in a glass (the way it almost glows)—while grown-ups enjoy the herbal taste that feels unique without being heavy. Because it’s such a familiar tradition in Italian gatherings, folks feel good about serving an Aperol Spritz to make things feel just a little more festive.

Busy families like how well an Aperol Spritz fits into almost any relaxed occasion or special event—works just as well at a pool party as it does at a weekend dinner (especially served with simple snacks or appetizers, which suits busy home cooks so well). The soft fizz from the club soda brings that light and crisp finish, while bubbly Prosecco keeps everything fun and easy to drink. Versatility is a big plus—generous with the spritz cocktail, you can pour it a little stronger or lighter depending on who’s enjoying it. Whether you’re looking for a playful apéro or just want to bring a taste of summer to any table, FAMILY gatherings or not, it’s a total crowd-pleaser for anyone who likes a good, herbal, and totally enjoyable drink. Celebrate those laid-back evenings or make a regular meal feel a bit more special—Aperol Spritz, the true Italian favorite, brings that classic spritz cocktail vibe home every time.

Tips

No soda water siphon, no problem! It is very easy to find one in stores or even a disposable one at the supermarket. Alternatively, you can easily replace the soda water with sparkling water to make your Spritz.

And what about the best food pairings for a Spritz? Certainly cold cuts, cheeses that are not very aged, and nuts such as almonds, peanuts, cashews and hazelnuts. Excellent seafood combinations include salmon, cod, octopus, and crustaceans. What about vegetables? Absolutely! Try it with carrots, celery, fennel, or combined with delicious recipes based on spinach, zucchini, or eggplant... in short, let your imagination run wild!

Ah, we almost forgot: delicate green olives have always been a perfect match for the Spritz!
