I first had this at sunset at the rooftop bar of a favorite hotel in Venice dacades ago in August. It probably helped that I was in the middle of an affair with the man I ended up marrying. Drink this cocktail while you're falling in love and with a side of Italian potato chips. Heaven.
Classic and highly refreshing. We've started to serve after dinner and guests love not feeling too bogged down by a traditional after-dinner drink
We were just in Venice last year and had these in multiple spots; each place served them differently. Some places use white wine and sparkling water, some used prosecco (didn't see any using prosecco and water). Some places garnish with olives, some with orange, most with both. They were served in everything from large fine wine glasses to plastic cups.
This is what a spritz should look like, notthe catroonish thing in a big balloon wine glass.
When I first heard of putting green olives in an Aperol spritz I thought it sounded a bit weird, but I tried it anyway. I am now 100% Team Olive. Never again with an orange slice!!
Find some contratto to use for the bitter apertif - fantastic and delicious combo!
