Hark, the season of spritzes is here! Summer beckons all things juicy, flavorful, and refreshing. Which is perhaps what has raised the citrusy Aperol spritz to influencer status in the last couple of years. Today we are making the case for mixing and matching your spritz game with all summer has to offer, like with our punchy strawberry Aperol spritz. A mix of bitter, fresh, and sweet, all with the gorgeousness of prosecco that just cuts so perfectly through summer days and nights.
Our Aperol Strawberry Spritz Recipe: Fruity & Refreshing Too
Summer is here and we couldn’t be happier! What’s better than those sweltering days are those warm summer evenings that just pair so nicely with a cool glass of something. Today we suggest a deviation from the after work beer or glass of wine with an ever-more popular Aperol spritz. Albeit, with a twist.
Just like everyone else, we’ve fallen hard for that bright orange Italian liqueur, but tonight, we’d like to give it a slight makeover. When we first developed Aperol strawberry spritz for the first time, we were immediately smitten. After all, strawberries are another classic summertime treat!
Instead of just snacking on strawberries or using them in desserts and pastries, they also cut a fine figure in drinks like our Aperol strawberry spritz. They give the summery drink a fruity touch that goes great with its signature sparkle.
To do this, start by finely puréeing a few red berries. Together with some ice cubes and a few chopped strawberries, you will want to divide the berries between two glasses. For the final and most important step, add the prosecco, Aperol, and a splash of sparkling water for extra shine. In the blink of an eye and flick of the wrist, you’ll have two bright red Aperol strawberry spritzes ready to be enjoyed.
There’s something to be said about a hard drink on a warm night! It’s sure to cool you off and add just enough of a cheeky twist to the night.
