Aperol at home. Am I missing something?

[nobodygoesdowninthejungle]

I often have a G&T of a weekend evening but fancied an Aperol spritz tonight. I have all of the ingredients but it strikes me as a waste to open a bottle of Prosecco & another of soda water when I just want one drink. I probably wouldn't have another until next Friday or Saturday and imagine both bottles will have gone flat by then. I don't want them cluttering up the fridge either! Is there an alternative? Am I missing something? I swear friends & colleagues have one of these of an evening and it's just them drinking it.

Mini fever tree cans/mini prosecco bottles. I get both from Tesco.

This is why I stick to g and t

Schweppes tonic stays fizzy for a week after opening, god knows what's in it

As others have said, mini cans of tonic are your friend. I like it just with tonic, doesn't need the Prosecco

Maybe they drink more than 1? A bottle of prosecco would be OK on the next night. Cheap prosecco from Lidl or aldi doesn't cost much more than a small bottle either!

You can get mini bottles of prosecco

You can make it with soda water/ fizzy water instead of Prosecco although it doesn’t have as much flavour.

I like Aperol Vodka Tonic.

MOTH cocktails do a nice pre-made one in a can

or a Campari g&t is nice for the same kind of vibe.

As other posters have said, cans or mini bottles. Or a partner who wants a couple too!

Lidl do small cans of sparkling white wine - perfect.

You can get a bottle stopper for fizzy wine but also keep in fridge.

Lidls do nice cans of their version of aperol spritz which can be topped up with white wine or gin if you have any in.

You are missing a small bottle of prosecco and can of soda water. Enjoy!

I do Aperol and tonic. If you like very sweet drinks then you could do aperol and lemonade too.

Second the Lidl fake version - really nice and very cheap too!

Also here to say the lidl version, aldi do one too. It's £1 a can!

Just normal white wine is best - not Prosecco.

It's a real quandary, it's true.

I get around it by drinking the whole bottle. It's a sacrifice, but I just hate waste

Thanks for the answers. I have already done the "oh well, I'd better finish the bottle of prosecco" option and felt fairly ropey the next day! I'd also thought about the mini bottles of prosecco but that feels like quite an expensive option when you compare it to the price of a full bottle of prosecco ... but then I guess it's not different to the mark up with the cans/bottles of things like tonic.
I might try some of the other suggested mixers and, if they don't work, stock up on some mini bottles of Prosecco

NO!!!
It’s not an Aperol spritz without the Prosecco!

Tesco and Lidl do screw top Prosecco, that definitely keeps a few days. It's slightly lower alcohol too.
I use sparkling mineral water instead of soda, and it's fine. We tend to drink sparkling water with meals so no waste

They do indeed. Very good they are too. In fact, I think there's one lurking in the back of the fridge. Might have to put it out of its misery......

I have some special bottle stops for prosecco. They wouldn't last a week I don't think, but I can definitely leave it in the fridge for a few days without it going flat. Soda water I would drink all the time anyway, so doesn't make a difference

Fever Tree do little tins (cans? What's the difference?) of blood orange soda water and it's gorgeous with Aperol. I prefer it without the Prosecco, oddly.
