Italian Blood Orange Aperol Spritz with Rosemary and Prosecco

Ingredients

• 3 oz Aperol
• 3 oz Prosecco, chilled
• 1 oz fresh blood orange juice
• 1 oz club soda
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• Ice (large cubes)
• Blood orange half-wheel for garnish
• Rosemary sprig for garnish
• Pinch of flaky salt

Instructions

1. Lightly bruise the rosemary sprig by pressing it between your palms or snapping it in half to release the oils.
2. Fill a large wine glass generously with ice cubes.
3. Pour blood orange juice over the ice first — this sinks to the bottom for a beautiful gradient.
4. Add Aperol over the juice.
5. Pour chilled Prosecco slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the bubbles.
6. Add a splash of club soda. Tuck the bruised rosemary sprig into the glass alongside the ice.
7. Garnish with a blood orange half-wheel on the rim and a pinch of flaky salt on top to brighten the citrus. Serve immediately.
