Aperol Spritz: The Drink of the Italian Summer
The Aperol Spritz is the unofficial drink of Venice’s bacaro culture — those tiny cicchetti bars along the canals where locals gather for ombra (a small glass of wine) after work.
The 3-2-1 Formula
Professionals use the 3-2-1 ratio: 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part soda. This keeps the Aperol’s bitterness in check while maintaining its beautiful sunset color.
