With summer, the Spritz is making a big comeback at aperitif time – although we can also see it on the sunny terraces of ski resorts in the heart of winter.

Despite its simplicity of preparation, sometimes the result in our glasses does not live up to the expectations of our taste buds. Which is a shame, because it’s really not rocket science to pull it off. Here is the recipe proposed by Riccadonna, an Italian prosecco, and its preparation tips.
Ingredients:
3 volumes of Prosecco Riccadonna Extra-Dry (9 cl)
2 volumes of Aperol or Campari (6 cl)
1 volume of sparkling water (3 cl) 1 slice of orange
Preparation :
Fill the glass with ice cubes then slowly pour in the Prosecco Riccadonna.
Add the Aperol or Campari then the sparkling water.
With a long spoon, stir gently without mixing so as not to compromise the effervescence of the cocktail. Add a slice of orange.
Advice :
Riccadonna releases fruity notes of citrus, Granny Smith apples and a refreshing acidity thanks to its perfect dosage (13 g/l of sugar). These two aspects perfectly balance the sweetness of Apérol or the bitterness of Campari.
Be careful, pour the prossecco first! This will preserve its sparkle and make it easier to mix the Aperol or Campari (depending on your taste) and a splash of sparkling water. Don’t forget to add a slice of orange. The Charmat method (a closed tank fermentation method) used to make Riccadonna mousse provides excellent bubble content and ideal effervescence: the bubbles remain persistent in the cocktail.
It is essential to fill your flared glass with ice cubes. Contrary to what one might believe, they are not going to dilute. There is strength in numbers. On the contrary, they will keep their ice cream longer since the environment is very cold.
By following these three principles and the formula 3 – 2 – 1 of the recipe, you obtain a balanced and refreshing Spritz.
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health. To consume with moderation.
