It may be October but the weather is still sunny outside. What better excuse to have an Aperol Spritz? Aperol Spritz is undoubtedly the most widespread and commonly drunk aperitif in Italy and is now hugely popular over here. Bright orange in colour, it has a unique taste, thanks to the secret recipe, which has never been changed, with infusions of selected ingredients including bitter and sweet oranges and many other herbs (including rhubarb) and roots in perfect proportions. It is low in alcohol at 11% and has a dry and bitter taste. Perfect for those who have savoury tastes.

To make an Aperol Spritz you just mix 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol and a dash of soda. Add a slice of orange and there you have it: an Aperol Spritz. Best served in a tumbler or large balloon glass.
