The bittersweet birthday spritz

A version of an Aperol Spritz

An aperitif (in France) or aperitivo (in Italy) is traditionally served to open up the palate before a meal. Adding bubbles makes for a fun pre-dinner birthday cocktail. Aperol is slightly sweeter than Campari, and the vodka just gives this an additional kick.

Ingredients

30 ml	Campari, or Aperol
1 serving	Vodka
1 serving	Prosecco sparkling wine, to top the glass (Main)
1 squeeze	Freshly squeezed orange juice
1 slice	Orange, use a half slice, to garnish

Directions

1. In a Champagne flute or a small glass, add the Campari or Aperol and the vodka.
2. Squeeze in a couple of drops of juice from half an orange, and top with Prosecco.
3. Garnish with half a slice of orange and serve immediately.
