When Aperol representatives comes to events at my bar they actually teach us a different - much more efficient order: Prosecco - aperol - fill w ice - soda top This way it mixes automatically and serving is both quicker and more consistent . Thx for another great vid Steve!👍🙏

Steve, thank you for providing us free, fun, and informative content. We all appreciate your care for cocktails, and, of course, that million-dollar smile. My only suggestion would be to do about ten videos a day because we love your videos so much. Be well!

Love that you're tasting and giving feedback. Especially liked this episode where you made two different variations. As a non bitter lover I like that you're explaining which one you think we'll like and why. I would love to hear your personal favorite tho. I know that it's not always easy to pick a favorite and that if often depends on the mood, seemed like the case between these two ;)

Great version of the sprits for something different, thanks for sharing. I like them both

I have to say, that i learned alot from your'e Videos since i Subscribed. You like an Idol for me👏🏾 So thank you🙏🏾

AMAZING RECIPE! I am Italian American and grew up with this amazing cocktail. I 💗 your videos mate!

Just the perfect summer drink for any occasion!!!

My first Aperol Spritz...Ever! I tried one without the orange juice, one with. OMG! both absolutely delicious but my favorite, with the orange juice. Thank you so much for the recipe!❤

yesssss aperol spritz is my absolute favorite!!! love this vid, tysm!

Had Aperol Spritz for the New Year and I must admit, it was really tasty! I prefer bitterness over sweetness so these are perfect)) Happy New Year everybody!

An Aperol Spritz is a wonderful thing to drink in hot weather. Loved drinking them when I was in Venice a few summers ago.

Great episode mate 👌🏼

This is perfect timing. I was just on vacation and tried getting my family to enjoy a Negroni. Epic fail. My mom told me that when she was in Italy she couldnt get into Aperol. When I go back I'll bring the PDT version with me and I'll win them over.

The PDT Aperol Spritz was a crowd pleaser at our Christmas party! Thanks for sharing

Great as always

I substitute the soda water for a lemon lime soda for the extra sweetness/flavor and to me it's a bit better. I'm not big on sweet drinks, but this is a summer drink, so it gets a pass.

The rocks Aperol Spritz was delicious! Far better than the traditional wine glass version. Thank you for the recipe!

Thank you Steve, I made one of these. And it was good. However I think I like your PDT version.

Nice video. Interesting variation with the orange juice. Could you please make a video about different summer, refreshing cocktails, that are just easy to prepare as the Aperol Spritz? Thanks!

I had one in a restaurant and they served it with Aperol, Campari and Prosecco, it was very nice.

I did a mix of both recipes and it was terrific

Hey Steve, you should change the way to make the Aperol or Campari spritz. First, in the glass with ice , you HAVE TO pour the prosecco and after Aperol/Campari soda , why ? Because of the physical law the alcohol is heavier than sparkling wine... I can't wait to see you here in Italy😀

My local alcohol shop can confirm they love your vids! Or more accurately, they love the amount of spirits and liqueurs I've bought from them since discovering your channel :)

I have always added the Aperol after the Prosecco. That seems to mix the drink better because the Aperol is more dense than Prosecco and it flows to the bottom of the glass. If you add Aperol first it will stay on the bottom and you have to stir.

Yes, you definitely can make a Campari Spritz. Just know that Campari is 30% alcohol vs 15 for Aperol, and the cocktail will be a bit stronger. It seems Steve's video tomorrow will precisely be about those other versions of the Spritz, with a different base alcohol

Great Video. Probably would of been nice to give viewers a basic rundown on what an aperitif is so viewers can understand WHY the 3-2-1 is bitter and therefore when the 3-2-1 version might be preferable (like before a meal).

Fan of the both version of them

Avid Aperol Spritz drinker here. I might try that squeeze of orange in the traditional recipe. I’ve tried a heavier Aperol:Prosecco ratio and didn’t care for it - the heavier mouthfeel from more of the liqueur is just not what I’m looking for from a summer drink.

Check out this cocktail I came up with. 1 cup aperol, 2 cups pear or apple cider and ice. The aperol counteracts the sugary sweetness and acidity of cider. Poor man's aperol sprizz. Super refreshing.

Greetings from Italy 😄

I believe the order makes a difference and the prosecco should go in the glass first, then the Aperol, which is how it it shows on the label. I do like to start with a maraschino cherry on the bottom.

Hi @stevethebartender The dryness in the 3-2-1 recipe comes from the prosecco, not from the Aperol. Try Aperol pure and you'll notice it's actually really sweet. If you like a bit more bitterness, add Campari to the mix. Your second recipe is not sweeter because of the orange squeeze but because you used more Aperol.

@Barprints

That's an interesting point. Basically and "Aperol Americano" but a great way to tailor to your guest's palate

I prefer the way they do it in Naples, quite alcoholic but with enough sweetness to round out the bitter flavor. Not sure how they do it but i do believe they put orange juice in. It can be quite a nice palate cleanser too when eating very savory italian food

How do I share the pics..I followed some of your recipes..

I make a version with Gin, which is also lovely, and a bit stronger. I skip the soda and just use Aperol, Gin and Prosecco. Yummy!

I learned that to get the Aperol Spritz layered you need to start with prosseco and Aperol Spritz afterwards?

I think the prosecco causes most of the kind of bitter flavour. I tried one with only more aperol before and it was less bitter and more sweeter. I like it more.

Try Verdi Spumante instead of Prosecco - You're welcome!

Salud🍻from mexico

I notice in many American bars they serve Aperol spritz very cloudy and full of ice while in Europe it’s served with less ice and it’s clearly see through and carbonated

I find that Aperol is more sweet than bitter. I like it, even though I have a bitter-averse palate (to the point that I don't like beer). Maybe dryness of the Prosecco makes the Prosecco's bitterness come out. I would argue that the main reason for the PDT version being less bitter is that there's less Prosecco

In Italy we have a version with Cinar added. But that version it’s way heavier then just with Aperol.

I was one of the supervisor bar staff for one of the Aperol Spritz bars at the 2019 Tennis Open in Brisbane! It used to be 90 ml Prosecco but they changed the measurements globally to 30ml of Prosecco, I’m not sure why but that’s just what the order was from Aperol Spritz!

the most important factor for me is the prosecco/cava that is used. for me, it has to be dry and not sweet sparkling wine to compliment the Aperol

I thought your guestimations were pretty off but either way I’m sure they were delish.

I noticed that stirring the original recipe opens up the flavors, where without stirring makes it basically drinking Prosecco at first. I might try reverse loading it to see if that does the trick, keeping it more carbonated.
