A quick and refreshing cocktail is the key to a little Summer ‘hydration’. The Aperol Spritz is one perfect warm weather tipple and a simple Italian cocktail anyone can make. It’s a light aperitif drink great for a pre-meal beverage as it helps to stimulate the appetite.

90ml Prosecco (or any dry Sparkling white wine).
30ml Soda water.

A perfect mix of fizz and bitter liqueur that’s not going to hit you for six if you have a couple (they are light in alcohol content as you can have a couple if you like). And if you have a few guests over, it’s just as simple to make a jug of this concoction and serve all afternoon long.
Enjoy!
