Name: Aperol Spritz

Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 3 fl oz chilled brut prosecco, 10.5% ABV; 2 fl oz Aperol aperitivo, 11% ABV; 1 fl oz chilled soda water; 1 cup ice, for serving; 1 wheel orange, for garnish

The bright orange aperitivo and dry prosecco make this spritz bittersweet and lightly bubbly. A measured splash of soda keeps it lively without washing out the citrus-herbal finish.

Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.

*Marked values have additional uncertainty. Calories uses the documented approximation for Aperol aperitivo, 11% ABV.

Not reliably estimated: Carbohydrate — Aperol Aperitivo, 11% ABV; 159.2 kcal per 100 mL does not report carbohydrate. Total sugar — Aperol Aperitivo, 11% ABV; 159.2 kcal per 100 mL does not report total sugar. Added sugar — Tesco Finest Prosecco DOC Brut, 10.5% ABV does not report added sugar; Aperol Aperitivo, 11% ABV; 159.2 kcal per 100 mL does not report added sugar. Other displayed values remain estimates from their cited records.

Calculation assumptions

The default uses Tesco Finest Prosecco DOC Brut as the labeled 10.5% ABV wine reference, 11% ABV Aperol from a producer-supplied 159.2 kcal/100 mL product sheet, and plain soda. Aperol carbohydrate, total sugar, and added sugar, and prosecco added sugar, are not separately declared; those fields remain unavailable. The declared Aperol energy is counted without inventing missing macros. Ice melt and garnish are excluded. Alcohol energy is counted at 7 kcal/g.

Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.

Finished yield: 6 fl oz before ice dilution; one large wine glass.

Estimated alcohol: about 0.9 U.S. standard drinks. Approximately 89 calories come from ethanol at 7 kcal per gram.

Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.

Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.

Sugar checkAperol and wine both contribute sugar, but the selected Aperol declaration does not publish total or added sugar separately. Do not treat an unavailable figure as zero; brand and market changes matter.

Easy swaps

A different brut prosecco works well, but a sweeter sparkling wine will increase both sweetness and sugar.
For a less bitter glass, reduce Aperol to 1 1/2 fl oz and increase soda by 1/2 fl oz; recalculate nutrition for that variation.

Mixpert tips

Chill the wine and soda before building; warm prosecco sheds carbonation quickly over ice.
Stir only once or twice so the spritz stays lively rather than flat.

Good to know

Aperol Spritz FAQs

Can I make an Aperol Spritz in a pitcher?

You can measure the Aperol and chilled prosecco for several servings, but add the soda and ice to individual glasses just before serving. Holding a finished pitcher makes the prosecco and soda go flat. Keep the 3:2:1 proportions when scaling and adjust for the specific wine you choose.

What is the Aperol Spritz ratio?

This glass uses three parts dry prosecco, two parts Aperol, and one part soda water. Some bars use a smaller soda splash; adjust to your preferred strength.

Can I use Champagne instead of prosecco?

You can, but the sharper, drier result tastes different and the nutrition depends on the bottle you choose.
