Equipment

blender
ice cube trays

Notes

To keep the cocktail frozen longer, use chilled Aperol and chilled prosecco. Alternatively, you can also freeze the Aperol in ice cube trays. Due to the alcohol content, it won't freeze solid but it will freeze enough to positively impact the frozen texture of the drink.
