During the preparation of an Aperol Spritz, what type of glass is recommended to fill with ice?

For an Aperol Spritz, the recommended glassware is typically a wine glass or a large balloon glass, but among the options provided, a 14 oz glass serves as a suitable choice. This size allows for adequate ice and ingredients while ensuring that the drink is presented attractively.

The Aperol Spritz is known for its vibrant color and refreshing qualities, and using a glass that can hold enough ice provides the necessary dilution while keeping the drink chilled. Additionally, the open shape of a 14 oz glass enhances the aromatic experience of the drink, allowing the citrus and herbal notes of the Aperol and prosecco to be enjoyed fully.

Other glass types listed may not offer the same benefits. A rocks glass is generally smaller and more suited for spirits served neat or with minimal mixers. A margarita glass, while visually appealing for a different category of cocktails, does not accommodate the Aperol Spritz's ice and components ideally. A highball glass, although it holds a decent amount, lacks the space to showcase the drink properly and may not provide the same aesthetic appeal as a larger glass appropriate for spritzes.
