Cocktail Hour: Aperol Spritz

Inspired by Siany's recent post on Frank's Campari Bar, I thought I'd share my fave bitters-based cocktail of the moment, the Aperol Spritz. Aperol's a bit like Campari, in fact they're made by the same company. It's a brash orange coloured Italian aperitif made from a secret recipe based on bitter orange, rhubarb and gentian. And it's all kinds of awesome.

Aperol Spritz You'll need:

• 1 1/2 shots Aperol
• 1 1/2 shots Prosecco (or other fizz)
• Top up with soda

Shake it!

• Pour ingredients into a glass filled with ice and stir gently
• Serve with a twist of orange zest if you're feeling fancy
