With this easy-to-remember recipe you can throw together a stunning low-alcohol cocktail in no time.
Light, refreshing with a unique bittersweet taste, Aperol is a must-have ingredient for spring and summer sips on your deck (or inside in your sweatpants). With only 11% ABV it's a wonderful liqueur for crafting low-alcohol drinks. A traditional spritz is made with Aperol, prosecco and soda water. In this recipe we swap out the prosecco for orange juice and decrease the Aperol content to create a lightened up version of the Italian classic.
This recipe is so simple to make... just remember 2-2-2: 2 parts Aperol, 2 parts orange juice, 2 parts soda water.
I love this cocktail because it requires no prep ahead of time, no fresh squeezed juices, and can be thrown together in under a minute. Cheers to that!
