Equipment

  • Measuring Jigger

Instructions

  • Prep Glass: Fill your wine glass with ice cubes.
  • Add Campari: Measure and pour 2 oz Campari into the glass.
  • Add Prosecco: Pour 3 oz Prosecco over the ice.
  • Add Soda Water: Add 1 oz soda water to the mix.
  • Stir Gently: Use a bar spoon to stir the ingredients gently.
  • Garnish: Garnish with a slice of orange.

Notes

Substitutes:

  • Campari: I often use Aperol for a lighter, less bitter profile; it still brings a lovely orange essence. If you're looking for a non-alcoholic option, a combination of non-alcoholic aperitif and a splash of orange juice works well.
  • Prosecco: Any sparkling wine or Champagne can replace Prosecco. I've used Cava, which brings the spritz a crisp, refreshing taste.
  • Soda Water: Club soda or any unflavored sparkling water can stand for soda water.

Making a Pitcher of Campari Spritz:

  • Scale: To make a pitcher serving 8, use 24 oz of Prosecco, 16 oz of Campari, and 8 oz of soda water.
  • Mix: Combine Prosecco, Campari, and soda water in a large pitcher and stir gently.
  • Serve: Pour into individual ice-filled wine glasses, garnish with an orange slice, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Campari Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic aperitif and a splash of orange juice to mimic the flavor of Campari.
  • Prosecco Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic sparkling wine or club soda.
  • Proceed As Usual: Replace the alcoholic ingredients with the non-alcoholic substitutes, follow the original steps, and savor a refreshing non-alcoholic Campari Spritz.

Making it Vegan:

  • Choose Vegan Prosecco: Some Proseccos use animal products during the fining process. Look for brands that specify they are vegan.
  • Check Campari: Most Campari is vegan, but it's always good to check the label for any animal-derived ingredients.
  • Proceed As Usual: Once you have your vegan ingredients, follow the original steps and relish your vegan Campari Spritz.
