Aperol Spritz-o-Clock

This classic Italian apéritif isn’t just good before a meal—it’s always spritz-o-clock in my book. You can use soda water instead of the prosecco, but it’s much more fun to triple down on the alcohol.

MAKES 2 DRINKS

Ingredients

6 ounces Aperol

4 ounces prosecco or soda water

1 (12-ounce) can orange hard seltzer

orange wedges, for garnish
