A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare the glass
Add 120 g cubed ice to a large wine glass.
Build the spritz
Measure the Prosecco, Aperol, and soda water directly into the glass, in that order.
Keep the bubbles lively
Measure sparkling ingredients separately. Add them at the point stated in the recipe, then lift or stir gently if directed. Never shake carbonated ingredients in a sealed shaker.
Lift, then garnish
Lift once gently with a bar spoon. Add the orange slice and serve. Do not shake.
