Aperol Spritz Recipe Large Batch
At just 3 ingredients and no shaker required, the aperol spritz is one of the easiest cocktails ever to make! Not to mention, it’s delicious.
The aperol spritz is one of my drinks of choice (the campari spritz and Hugo cocktail are definitely up there too!), and I like drinking them when the weather starts getting warmer. It’s such a light, bubbly cocktail, so it makes sense that it’s synonymous with warmer spring and summer days (although I wouldn’t say no to it any time of the year!).
Aperol is an Italian bitter aperitif liqueur made of bitter andsweet oranges, rhubarb, and different herbs and roots, giving it its distinct flavor. It is bright orange in color and has a relatively low alcohol content for a liquor at 11%.
Aperol Spritz Recipe
The fact that Aperol (and consequently an aperol spritz) is an aperitif, means that the cocktail is generally consumed before a meal to stimulate the appetite.
It’s delicious – it’s slightly bitter but also sweet, with a flavor of oranges and herbs. The prosecco makes it bubbly and refreshing.
If you’re looking to make a spritz, this beverage has become so popular that aperol is now widely available in most liquor stores or supermarkets.

Even though Aperol is quite distinct in flavor, there are a few substitution options. They won’t taste the exact same, but you will get a similar flavor and bitterness, and they will taste delicious when mixed with prosecco):
The first main difference is that Aperol’s alcohol content is much lower than Campari’s. Campari’s alcohol content is 20.5% to 28% (depending on where it’s sold) and aperol’s alcohol content is 11%. So Aperol tastes much lighter and has as milder flavor than Campari.
In terms of flavor, both have very similar flavors of orange and herbs, but aperol is sweeter and has a milder flavor than campari. Some would say aperol is more approachable than campari, especially if one is first getting started on drinking bitter liquers.

The classic and most traditional way to serve this cocktail is in a wine glass. Some even serve it in stemless wine glasses or highball glasses, but a wine glass with a stem is still the most authentic way to serve it.
For one cocktail, the Aperol Spritz measurements/ratios are 2 parts Aperol to 3 parts prosecco, and a splash of club soda. If you wanted to make an Aperol Spritz in a large batch and serve it in a pitcher, you could fill the pitcher with ice, and follow those same ratios. Just be careful to use it up and serve it quickly, or the large amounts of ice may dilute the cocktail.

Easy Italian Aperol Spritz Recipe (4 Ingredients!)
Aperol is a low-alcohol (11% ABV) Italian bitter typically served as an aperitif before a meal to stimulate the appetite. It is made with rhubarb, oranges, gentian root, cinchona bark, and more.
With its perfectly balanced sweet, bitter, and herby flavor, aperol is less polarizing than the better-known Italian aperitif, campari, which is too bitter in comparison.
Aperol is best known for its use in the popular bubbly Italian cocktail, the aperol spritz, which is perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon, but equally refreshing in the fall.
Apple Cider Aperol Spritz … You're Invited To An Autumn Progressive Dinner
Kristina, who is on our team, spent some time studying food nutrition in Italy – that’s when she became quite familiar with this popular orange Italian cocktail!It wasn’t uncommon for her group to walk down the streets of Rome at the end of the work day to find many enjoying a little afternoon aperol spritz.
Classic aperol spritz is made of aperol, prosecco, and club soda (or soda water). In my recipe, I skip the club soda in favor of a little freshly squeezed orange juice. Orange juice adds a little natural sweetness to balance the bitterness of the aperol.
Any navel oranges would work, but this time I used cara cara oranges, which are pink fleshed and a tad sweeter than regular navel oranges. And, thanks to the prosecco, the cocktail is still plenty fizzy without the addition of club soda.
Aperol Gin Punch Recipe
To make this aperol spritz recipe, simply fill a wine glass with ice (almost to the top of the glass). Pour in 1 ½ ounces fresh orange juice (if using), and equal parts Aperol and dry prosecco (about 3 ounces each).
Because this aperol cocktail recipe is so simple, you could easily eyeball the ingredients and adjust to your taste. Want it sweeter? Add more orange juice. Need more bubbles? Top it off with a splash of prosecco. The beauty of this Italian cocktail is that it can be changed to suit you! And while you might not end up with a classic aperol spritz, you will still have a light, fresh cocktail to sip.
Serve it with light Italian or Mediterranean-style nibbles. I mentioned my favorite burrata platter earlier, but antipasto skewers, a simple tomato bruschetta, or a plate of whipped feta with a side of pita chips are all good ideas! If you want to serve a little something sweet and salty, try melons wrapped in prosciutto.

My 4-ingredient aperol spritz is bubbly, zesty, and refreshing! You don't need any special tools or skills, it takes seconds to make.

Simple Aperol Spritz Recipe
A proper Aperol spritz tastes like summertime in Italy and looks like a golden orange sunset. I’ll gladly sip one on our front porch now, overlooking our overgrown front yard, and later, with a view of the Italian Riviera.
The Aperol spritz has been in the spotlight over the past week, since the New York Times boldly declared that “The Aperol Spritz Is Not a Good Drink.” Grub Street shot back that the “Entire Internet Agrees Aperol Spritz Is, in Fact, Good.”
I, for one, find the Aperol spritz to be entirely delightful. Both articles are written with the assumption that you have tried an Aperol spritz, but what if you haven’t? I vote that we all make some this weekend and decide for ourselves.

Only Aperol will do here. Aperol is a bright orange apéritif. The brand describes the flavors as, “zesty orange with complex herbal scents harmonized with a touch of vanilla.” Look for Aperol near the liqueurs or amaros at the liquor store.
For some fizzy dilution. Any unflavored sparkling water will work. I keep cans of sparkling water in my pantry for this purpose.
The generally accepted ratio is equal parts Aperol and Prosecco plus a splash of club soda. However, you can play around with the ratio until your Aperol spritz tastes exactly the way you like it. I like mine with a little more Prosecco than Aperol.

Aperol’s bitter notes can take some getting used to, so you can reduce the bitterness by using less Aperol and more Prosecco.
As written, your Aperol spritz is around 11 percent alcohol content by volume (Aperol is 11% ABV and Prosecco is 12%). To make it even lower in alcohol content, use proportionally more club soda and less Aperol and Prosecco.
The aperol spritz is commonly served as an apéritif. Apéritifs are designed to be served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. They’re typically lightly alcoholic and more dry than sweet.
