From Paris to Rome: Emily’s Love for Aperol Spritz Is Contagious

13 Sep, 2024

If you tuned in to the much-anticipated second part of Series 4 of Emily in Paris,  you might have noticed something different- Emily isn’t in Paris anymore! She’s been spotted soaking up Roman culture, and what better way to do that than with a classic Aperol Spritz in hand? Off-screen, the cast is also embracing the Spritz vibes, sipping Aperol and Campari Spritzes between takes. Looks like this cocktail is having a major moment!

We’ll teach you how to master the perfect Aperol Spritz, so you can feel like you’re living la dolce vita wherever you are! It’s as simple as this:

Aperol Spritz Recipe

What You’ll Need:

  • 75ml Prosecco
  • 50ml Aperol
  • A splash of soda water (around 25ml)
  • A fresh orange slice for garnish

How to Make It:

  1. Fill a large wine glass to the brim with ice (trust us, the more ice, the better).
  2. Pour the Prosecco first to keep things bubbly, followed by the Aperol.
  3. Add a dash of soda, stir gently to blend the flavors, and you’re almost there.
  4. Finish it off with a slice of fresh orange. And there you have it—Spritz perfection!

Now you’re ready to sip like Emily herself!
