What Is an Aperol Spritz?
The Aperol Spritz is a classic Italian aperitivo cocktail known for its vivid orange colour, refreshing sparkle and balanced bittersweet flavour.
Aperol was created in Padua, Italy, in 1919. Its distinctive character combines citrus, herbs and gentle bitterness in an approachable aperitif designed to be enjoyed before a meal.
When mixed with sparkling wine and soda water, Aperol becomes a light, refreshing Spritz suited to warm afternoons, relaxed evenings, dinner parties and celebrations.
The cocktail’s simple recipe is part of its appeal. It requires no shaker or specialist equipment and can be assembled directly in a large wine glass filled with ice.
How to Make an Aperol Spritz
The traditional Aperol Spritz follows an easy 3–2–1 ratio:
- 3 parts Cornaro Caterina Frizzante
- 2 parts Aperol
- 1 part soda water
To prepare:
- Fill a large wine glass with plenty of ice.
- Pour in three parts chilled Cornaro Caterina Frizzante.
- Add two parts Aperol.
- Finish with one part soda water.
- Stir gently.
- Garnish with a fresh orange slice.
Adding the sparkling wine first helps preserve its bubbles, while a gentle stir combines the ingredients without losing too much fizz.
You can adjust the ratio slightly according to taste. Add more Frizzante or soda water for a lighter drink, or a little more Aperol for a stronger bittersweet character.
Aperol 70cl
Aperol is the defining ingredient in an Aperol Spritz. The Italian aperitif is immediately recognisable for its orange colour and balanced combination of citrus, herbs and gentle bitterness.
Its approachable character makes it popular with established cocktail enthusiasts and recipients beginning to explore aperitivo-style drinks. Beyond the classic Spritz, Aperol can also be used in a range of sparkling and citrus-led cocktails.

Cornaro Caterina Frizzante 75cl
Cornaro Caterina Frizzante provides the sparkling wine element of the gift set. Frizzante describes a gently sparkling Italian wine with a lighter level of fizz than a fully sparkling Spumante wine.
Its fresh and lively character works naturally with Aperol, adding bubbles and balance without overpowering the aperitif’s distinctive flavour.
Serve the bottle well chilled before mixing. Any remaining Frizzante can also be enjoyed on its own or used to prepare another round of Spritzes.
