A refreshing and seasonal twist on the classic Aperol Spritz, this Apple Cider Aperol Spritz combines the bitter-sweet flavors of Aperol with crisp apple cider, sparkling prosecco, and a splash of club soda for a perfectly balanced and effervescent cocktail.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. Aperol
  • 3.5 oz. apple cider
  • Prosecco, to top
  • Club soda, to top

Instructions

  1. Fill Glass with Ice: Start by filling a large wine glass or tumbler with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
  2. Add Aperol and Apple Cider: Pour 1 ounce of Aperol and 3.5 ounces of apple cider over the ice for the base flavors of the cocktail.
  3. Top with Prosecco and Club Soda: Slowly top the glass with prosecco until nearly full, then add a splash of club soda for extra fizz and a light finish.
  4. Gently Stir: Use a bar spoon or straw to gently stir the ingredients together, mixing flavors without losing carbonation.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with a slice of apple or an orange twist, then serve immediately to enjoy the effervescent and fruity spritz.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Aperol with a non-alcoholic bitter orange syrup and use sparkling apple cider instead of prosecco.
  • Use chilled prosecco and apple cider to keep the drink cold without diluting it with too much ice.
  • Add a cinnamon stick garnish for a spiced twist, especially in fall and winter seasons.
  • Adjust the amount of club soda to taste, depending on how strong or light you prefer your spritz.
