      My second cocktail from the “Cocktail Basics:25 Classic Cocktails course, this is the Aperol Spritz. I apologise for not having the correct glassware to serve it in or the garnish but I have to utelise the products that I have got on hand.

      I ended up adding some simple sugar syrup to the beverage as it was a little dry and bitter for my personal tastes.

        Looks great! Aperol Spritz is one of my absolute favorite summer drinks. It’s just so refreshing. I love your idea of adjusting it with sugar syrup to fit your taste. If you ever add a splash of passion fruit syrup, it takes it to another dimension… tropical, bright, and dangerously easy to sip! 🍹

            @judyrusselllive-com-au I discovered it for the first time last year on the island of Thassos in Greece. As soon as I got home, I immediately bought a bottle of Passion Fruit syrup 😁

          Pues que bien, aunque la copa no sea la indicada

          • I had them in a similar glass in Italy. What is the proper glass?

            • @kevin-godbee , forgive me for my mistake. I have looked at the glassware in the photo that accompanied the cocktails recipe, its the same style of long stemmed glass, just a different shape, more angular. Here is what I found out when I googled what the correct serving vessel is, and you are correct.

              The proper style of glass for serving an Aperol Spritz is traditionally a large wine glass, often referred to as a stemmed white wine glass or balloon glass. The key features are:
              • Wide bowl: Allows room for ice, garnishes, and proper aeration of the drink’s aromas.
              • Clear glass: Essential to showcase the vibrant orange hue.
              • Sturdy stem: Keeps the drink cool by preventing hand warmth from transferring to the glass.
              Some modern takes use stemless wine glasses or even copa-style balloon glasses, but the classic presentation leans toward the elegant, stemmed variety. It’s all about balancing aesthetics with function—just like plating a dish beautifully without compromising flavor

            • Thats the one from the recipe.
