"I, however, don't fall into that camp. The bright-orange, refreshing spritz is one of my year-round orders. I've found that with a couple of easy tweaks, an Aperol-based drink can actually be very versatile. My version of the classic recipe has become one of my favorite drinks in the fall and winter months, regardless of whether I'm on the sun-drenched Côte d'Azur or in my native drizzly England."
"Making the spritz is really easy - and it doesn't even need to contain alcohol I've seen various versions of this cocktail online with slightly different ratios and ingredients. In my experience, you don't need to be too strict about it. You can alter the quantities based on your tastes and preferences, but for one simple spritz, I use the following:"
"2 ounces of Aperol or a nonalcoholic alternative 3 ounces of prosecco or nonalcoholic sparkling wine 2 ounces of apple or cranberry juice 1 ounce of soda water Pour the above ingredients into a glass with plenty of ice, and you're done. There's no shaking required. Although the above measurements yield one cocktail, I've scaled the recipe and served it in a large punch bowl or pitcher when hosting friends at my home."
A four-ingredient Aperol-based spritz offers a lighter alternative to heavier cocktails and can be easily made nonalcoholic. The recipe calls for Aperol or a nonalcoholic alternative, prosecco or nonalcoholic sparkling wine, apple or cranberry juice, and soda water. Combine the ingredients over plenty of ice without shaking and serve. The recipe scales for a punch bowl or pitcher when hosting. The drink can be strengthened with a splash of alcoholic spiced apple cider or a larger Aperol pour. Aperol contains about 11% alcohol, so dilution and serving sizes affect alcohol content. Festive garnishes such as rosemary and cinnamon sticks enhance presentation.
