Cranberry Aperol spritz

The spritz everyone knows, made for the season: cranberry juice in with the Aperol and prosecco, and a few berries and rosemary in the glass. Two minutes, no shaker.

Unsweetened cranberry juice keeps it bitter-bright instead of sugary, which is the whole point of a spritz.

You need

• Ice
• 2 oz Aperol
• 2 oz chilled cranberry juice, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
• 3 oz chilled prosecco or other sparkling wine
• 1 oz chilled soda water
• Fresh cranberries, an orange slice and a rosemary sprig, to garnish

How to make it

1. Fill a wine glass or rocks glass about two-thirds with ice.
2. Pour in the Aperol, cranberry juice and prosecco, then top with the soda water.
3. Stir once, gently.
4. Drop in a few cranberries, an orange slice and a rosemary sprig and serve right away.
