Aperol Spritz, an aperitif of Italian origin, is threatening to relegate the gin and tonic to second place as an after-work tipple and overtake the classic vermouth as a pre-lunch aperitif at weekends. Its exotic orange colour and sweet taste with just a hint of bitterness are two of the weapons in its armoury. It's made by combining Aperol and cava (or 'prosecco' or white wine) and adding a dash of soda. It has a light taste and it's the ideal companion for tapas.
