Instructions

  1. Step 1: Fill a wine glass with ice cubes, then add 3 oz Aperol and stir gently for 10 seconds to blend without losing carbonation.
  2. Step 2: Pour in 4 oz Prosecco and stir once more with a bar spoon until the ingredients are fully integrated, being careful not to agitate the bubbles.
  3. Step 3: Top with 2 oz soda water and gently swirl the glass to incorporate the effervescence without creating foam.
  4. Step 4: Express the oils from a 1-inch orange twist by twisting the peel over the drink until it releases its citrus aroma, then drop the twist into the glass.
  5. Step 5: Add 2 fresh mint leaves to the glass and press them gently with the back of a spoon until fragrant, releasing their essential oils before serving.
