Recipe: Bittersweet

Inspired by Orangette's blog post last week, I dug out my bottle of Aperol and invented a drink for the Oscars party I attended. I titled it: The Bittersweet (or, keeping a fixed grin on your face while someone else wins the prize!).

I am sure I got the idea from one of the links to her post, but in any case it was extremely tasty and I highly recommend you check it out.

I didn't use the club soda at all, in the end.

The Bittersweet:
3 parts prosecco/sparkling wine
1 part Aperol
splash fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice

I didn't measure when I was pouring, so feel free to do your own proportions! I think it all depends on how sweet the prosecco is.
