Aperol Spritz Recipe 3-2-1
This 2-minute cocktail is a mix of orange juice, Aperol and sparkling wine to create a my take on the Aperol Spritz 3-2-1 ratio spritz. An ideal, refreshing drink for warm summer nights or Sunday brunch.

This Aperol Spritz recipe follows the classic 3-2-1 ratio, but my version mixes it up. A traditional spritz has 3 parts prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part soda water. I swap the ratios and use orange juice instead of soda water for a slightly sweeter punch. It’s a two-minute cocktail that came out of missing cancelled summer travel plans one year. I have been making it ever since.
This Aperol sparkler was born after a trip to Paris several years ago with some of my best friends. You can bet we took in every chance possible to order the classic version at sidewalk cafes, but I found it to be a bit too bitter for my taste. This orange juice twist has that same brunchy vibe and reminds me of those lovely Parisian mornings with a touch of natural sweetness.
Serve this Aperol sparkling cocktail with some store-bought croissants or a slice of my Zucchini Quiche, sit on your back porch or balcony, and close your eyes as you sip and transport yourself to those lovely Parisian cafes.
