The Aperol Spritz is a refreshing and easy-to-make cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. All you need is Aperol, Prosecco, and Soda Water. The Aperol Spritz has a slightly bitter, citrusy taste from the Aperol with a hint of sweetness from the prosecco. The Aperol Spritz was created in the early 1900s by the owners of the Aperol company, who wanted to create a refreshing drink that could be enjoyed by everyone. The cocktail became popular in Italy and eventually made its way around the world.
