It’s gentle. It’s fragile. It’s floral. While I was watching that beautiful pinky color in that perfectly shaped glass I cannot stop myself thinking how a small rose floating on the top would have been looked like and in that moment the daughter of Cosmo has been born.
Personally I was never fond of the original recipe, which calls for three parts of Prosecco, two parts of Aperol and one part of soda. If you like your cocktails sweeter than bitter then you may agree with me. Though I did always felt ashamed, this drink is so famous and instagrammable that it would be a sin to miss it out on hot summer nights, so I had to come up with something we can still call Aperol Spritz, but with some extra feature that fulfills my taste.
