Tips
The 3-2-1 ratio (prosecco-Campari-soda) is the Italian standard and keeps the drink balanced Use a generous amount of ice to keep the drink cold; the Campari Spritz should stay chilled from first sip to last If the bitterness is too intense, ease into it by starting with a half-and-half split of Campari and Aperol
