This is such an amazing recipe because you can either triple down on the alcohol or you can water it down with soda water. I love when you can make a mix ‘your own’. This is one of the many fantastic recipes in The Hard Seltzer Cocktail Book.

Aperol Spritz-o-Clock Hard Seltzer Cocktail

This classic Italian apéritif isn’t just good before a meal—it’s always spritz-o-clock in my book. You can use soda water instead of the prosecco, but it’s much more fun to triple down on the alcohol.

Ingredients:

6 ounces Aperol

4 ounces prosecco or soda water

1 (12-ounce) can orange hard seltzer

orange wedges, for garnish

How to Mix:

✦ Fill two glasses with ice. Split the Aperol between the glasses (3 ounces each).

✦ Split the prosecco or soda water between the glasses (2 ounces each).

✦ Top each glass with half a can (6 ounces) of seltzer. Garnish each glass with an orange wedge.
