This cocktail, with its light bubbles and refreshing taste, is perfect for any occasion. Essential ingredients for a perfect Spritz To make a traditional Spritz, you need three main ingredients: Prosecco, Aperol (or another bitter aperitif), and sparkling water. Don’t forget ice cubes and a slice of orange for garnish. Preparing a homemade Spritz with Menades glasses Step 1: Select ingredients Start by selecting the best ingredients. A good quality Prosecco and Aperol will make all the difference. Step 2: Preparing the cocktail Measure the proportions The key to a good Spritz is balance. Use three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol and one part sparkling water. Mixing the ingredients First pour the Aperol into the Ménades glass, then add the Prosecco. Top up with the sparkling water. Stir gently to avoid losing the bubbles. Add the finishing touch Add plenty of ice cubes and a slice of orange for a touch of color and flavor. Tips for a successful Spritz For an even more refreshing Spritz, make sure all ingredients are well chilled before mixing. Use large ice cubes to prevent them from melting too quickly and diluting your cocktail.
