Aperol, the classic Italian bitter liqueur from Padua, provides the base for this iconic aperitivo drink. A simple combination of three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol and one splash of soda water, the Aperol Spritz is an outright phenomenon in Italy. It has also made significant inroads in America, where riffs on its bitter, bubbly, low-alcohol formula have proliferated.
