04 - Why Everyone’s Obsessed with the Aperol Spritz
Description
Welcome to Cheers To That! where today we’re diving into the irresistible world of the Aperol Spritz. This bright orange, bubbly drink has taken patios and summer evenings by storm, but did you know it has roots deep in Italy’s aperitivo tradition?
In this episode, we explore the Aperol Spritz from its early beginnings in the 1900s to its global rise as the perfect low-alcohol, refreshing drink for social occasions. Whether you’re sipping it in Italy or at a rooftop bar, the Aperol Spritz delivers that effortless, light flavor with just three ingredients: Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of soda.
We also get creative, discussing how you can easily put your own twist on the classic recipe, from using extra dry Prosecco for balance to swapping in orange soda or even adding a splash of gin for a unique spritz experience.
