Notes
Unlike most cocktail recipes, the ice should be added last when you are making an Aperol spritz. The reason is that if you pour prosecco over top of the ice, it starts to lose its bubbles right away. And, if you add ice first, you'll need to mix the drink and you'll lose more bubbles. Adding the ice last is the traditional method of making an Aperol spritz.
