- Preheat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Slice the orange into 8 rounds, then cook them for 2-3 mins until lightly charred, turning every 30 secs; transfer to a plate. Mix the Aperol and cranberry juice in a jug and chill. When ready to serve, half-fill 8 wine glasses with ice and divide the Aperol mix between them; stir. Divide the prosecco and soda water between the glasses and garnish with a charred orange slice and a sprig of rosemary.
- Make ahead: Griddle the orange slices up to a day ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Mix the Aperol and cranberry juice in a jug and chill until serving. Add a rosemary sprig at this point, if you like a strong rosemary flavour.
