Campari Spritz comes together as a bitter-sweet Italian aperitif of Campari, prosecco, and soda water over ice. You pour 90 ml prosecco and 60 ml Campari into an ice-filled wine glass in the classic 3:2:1 ratio, slowly so the drink layers gently. You top up with about 30 ml soda water and stir gently so the bubbles do not escape. You garnish with an orange slice and serve right away, well chilled.

Step by step process

Preparation

1
Keep the prosecco and soda water well chilled in the refrigerator, ideally for several hours beforehand, so the drink stays cold and sparkling as long as possible.
2
Wash the orange and cut into thin slices. Fill 4 large wine glasses two-thirds full with ice cubes.

Mixing

3
Pour 90 ml prosecco into each glass first, then 60 ml Campari. The classic 3:2:1 ratio gives a perfectly balanced spritz - pour slowly so the drink layers gently and stays fizzy.
4
Top up each glass with approximately 30 ml soda water and gently stir once or twice to combine without losing the effervescence.
TIP:
CO2 bubbles easily escape with aggressive stirring. Gentle mixing with a spoon, at most twice, is sufficient to keep the cocktail sparkling. Hard bartending tools damage the drink.

Serving

5
Garnish each glass with an orange slice on the rim or place the slice directly into the drink. Serve the spritz immediately after making it, while it is well chilled and the bubbles are at their best.
