- orange slice, pomegranate arils, and fresh rosemary for garnish

- Top with bubbly. Pour in 3 ounces of Prosecco and 1 ounce of sparkling water.
- Garnish. Give the drink a quick stir. Add a slice of orange and a spoonful of pomegranate arils.
Notes
- Use a large white wine glass. This winter Aperol spritz has around 8 ounces of liquid so you'll need a large wine glass or champagne flutes to accommodate.
- Get festive with your garnishes! Add a sprig of rosemary, a spoonful of pomegranate arils, and an orange slice to this winter spritz.
- Make a large batch. Multiply the delicious cocktail recipe by how many guests you’re serving, and mix the Aperol and pomegranate juice in a large pitcher. Serve by pouring around 4 ounces of the mixture into glasses for guests, and then top with Prosecco and a splash of sparkling water. Add a festive garnish or two and enjoy!
