Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Aperol, 3 oz Prosecco, and 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well-chilled and the flavors meld.
  2. Step 2: Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes, then top with 1 oz soda water for a light, effervescent finish.
  3. Step 3: Garnish with a thin grapefruit twist, twisting it over the glass to release the oils before placing it in the drink.
