Herbal Bitter Spritz

The herbal bitter spritz is an alcoholic cocktail designed as a pre-dinner, meaning it is ideal to enjoy before dinner (or lunch) and thus for aperitif. I tried it for the first time in the mountains a few years ago, so today I am offering it to you. It is prepared in a few minutes, you just need herbal bitter, Aperol, and good prosecco. Excellent to serve any time of the year.
