Think of the Spaghett (or Spagett) as the Aperol Spritz’s scrappy younger sibling. Baltimore bartender Reed Cahill created this summer sensation by cracking open a Miller High Life, pouring a splash into a small glass to make room, then adding 1 oz of Aperol and a squeeze of lemon juice to the bottle. It’s fizzy, bittersweet and drinks straight from the bottle, making it the easiest thing you’ll serve all summer. Spaghett Cocktail

Miller High Life (LCBO 34434, 6 pk, $11.50) is the classic choice, but any light, crisp lager works.

Make it for a crowd

Mix 11/2 cups (375 mL) Aperol with 1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh lemon juice and refrigerate. The mix keeps up to 1 week. At serving time, pour 11/2 oz into each chilled beer.
