Can I still add the traditional soda water?

Yes! Just add a splash of soda water to the top. We like ours without it, but the soda water would make this more similar to the traditional version.

Can I use a different kind of sparking wine?

Yes. Any dry sparkling white wine works well in this recipe. Prosecco is just the most traditional choice.

Serve this winter aperol spritz with a light appetizer before dinner.
