Venetian Spritz My Way!
Love this beverage, refreshing, invigorating, intoxicating…all the good things from a happy concoction of Prosecco, Aperol and a Piece of Orange Peel.. And since it is early spring here the oranges are still wonderful. Fresh juice in the morning, orange peel tossed in a cocktail in the afternoon for a Friday Aperitivo. Perfect for a little weekend prelude. And while you are there read a poem or two it wouldn’t hurt.
Ingredients:
Prosecco, or Sparkling White Wine
Aperol, there is only one it comes from Padua, Italy - buy it
Orange, peel a lovingly generous piece for your drink, it does make a difference
