Apple cider spritz

Ingredients:

• 45ml Aperol
• 90ml Prosecco
• 30ml Saigon Apple Cider

Preparation:

• Fill a large wine glass or a spritz goblet with plenty of ice cubes to ensure the drink remains crisp.
• Pour in Prosecco first, then add Aperol, top with Saigon Apple Cider.
• Give the mixture a very gentle stir, enough to combine the ingredients without losing the effervescence of the sparkling wine.
• Garnish with a thin slice of fresh green apple or a cinnamon stick to complement the cider notes, and serve immediately.

The Apple Cider Spritz and many other refreshment drinks are available at Summit Bar on Level 20 of Pan Pacific Hanoi, 1 Thanh Niên Road, Tây Hồ, Hà Nội, Tel: 024 3823 8888. — VNS
