Today I'm talking with wine expert extraordinaire Jane Norrington. We talk about perfect spring cheese pairings and the fascinating world of wine certification. The recipe she tells us about is the ultimate refreshing summer cocktail that will make your patio gatherings feel like a European vacation!

Jane's Aperol Spritz Recipe

3 parts prosecco
2 parts Aperol
1 part soda water

It's a 3-2-1 recipe meaning you can make any amount, using the same recipe. For one person, you'd do 3 ounces prosecco, 2 ounces Aperol, and 1 ounce soda water. For 2 people, you'd do 6 ounces prosecco, 4 ounces Aperol, and 2 ounces soda water.

To make it, put ice into a large wine glass. Pour in the prosecco, Aperol, and soda water. Garnish with a wedge of orange.
