How to make perfect aperol spritz at home
Refreshing aperol spritz recipe
Aperol spritz is a popular drink at the moment and I want to share with you how to make it! I’m a fan of light and refreshing cocktails that aren’t too strong, perfect for a warm summer day. Summer is here, and now is the perfect time for this fruity and bubbly cocktail you can make right from home.
One of my favorite drinks is Aperol Spritz, well known for its vibrant sunset hue and refreshing bittersweet taste. This cocktail is an aperitivo, otherwise known as an appetite-whetting beverage often enjoyed before dinner.
Personally, I think it’s perfect for any occasion, especially on a warm spring or summer day.
Aperol spritz with a fruity twist
If you stop by your local farmer’s market, you may see these vibrant, pink oranges on the table. This fruity aperol spritz recipe utilizes fresh strawberries and in-season navel oranges to create a refreshing, flavorful, and thirst-quenching cocktail.
For our version of aperol spritz, we added naval oranges in season to make it fruitier. The result? Sweet and delicious aperol spritz packed with vitamin C and extra sweetness.
