I've been out to dinner at the same restaurant, Felice, three times in the past week. That's unusual for me as I always like to try someplace new, but we had a few last minute get togethers and friends in from out of town and Felice seemed the perfect neighborhood hotspot. With its chic 1960's Dolce Vita vibe, extensive wine list and to die for pasta I would happily eat at Felice any day but it was the Venetian cocktail that I was introduced to here that has me hooked. It's called the "Spritz," a delicious drink made with Aperol, an Italian apertif with hints of bittersweet orange and floral herbs. It's a slightly sweeter cousin to the better known Campari and with it's low alcohol content and refreshing taste, you can enjoy one or two and not feel the effects the next day. It's my new favorite go-to drink-enjoy!
The Spritz
3 oz. Prosecco
1 1/2 oz. Aperol
splash of seltzer
The perfect spritz is prepared on the rocks. Add ice, Aperol, Prosecco, a dash of seltzer. Top it off with a slice of orange-delicious!

I knew immediately that this would be a favorite when I saw prosecco as an ingredient! Will try this after dinner.
Thank you for sharing.

Oh this might have to be my new cocktail!! I adore Campari and prosecco and champagne are regulars on my list so this is definitely right up my alley!!
Oh that sounds yum! Is it easy to find? xo
Looks yummy ... love the label on the bottle.
Ooo, sounds refreshingly wonderful!
they just stated inporting it 3 years ago--the company is now owned by Campari so you should be able to find it-cheers!
