To celebrate the return of Jurassic Lounge at the Australian Museum we’ve teamed up with sponsor Aperol to give one lucky winner the perfect summer prize pack. The Aperol Spritz is Italy’s most widely consumer cocktail and it’s really easy to make.
Aperol Spritz
Step 1: Grab a tumbler glass and follow these simple steps:
Step 2: 3 parts of Prosecco or dry white wine
Step 3: 2 parts Aperol
Step 4: 1 splash of soda
Step 5: Add ice and a slice of orange to the glass. Pour in the Prosecco, then the Aperol before adding a dash of soda and stirring gently.
The Aperol Spritz is all about sharing the company of others so to enter…
