A stunning and simple spritz to throw together for fall or winter sipping
Hear me out - Aperol Spritzes are not just for summer. Aperol has a unique bittersweet taste, and at only 11% ABV is wonderful for using in low-alcohol recipes all year long. While this Italian liqueur is traditionally considered a summer drink, we're putting a fall spin on this one with the addition of cranberry juice and my famous cinnamon clove syrup to compliment the bittersweet flavor of Aperol and tartness of the cranberries.
I love adding pomegranate seeds to this one for a yummy garnish, and the wedge sort of reminds me of a brain or organs for a fun Halloween Spritz. One glass of this spritz contains 3.1% ABV*.
Ingredients:
2 oz Aperol
2 oz cranberry juice
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz cinnamon clove syrup
Top with 1 oz soda water (orange or cranberry-flavored soda water would be delicious here)
Garnish with sliced lemons, oranges or pomegranate seeds
Steps
Fill a tall glass or wine glass with ice. Gently mix all ingredients with a spoon. Garnish with a sliver of lemon or orange.
Total ABV: 3.1% per 6oz serving over ice.*
