I know we reached peak Aperol spritz saturation sometime around mid-2024, but this blood orange Aperol spritz is the perfect cocktail to carry you through the springtime. It’s sunny, it’s citrusy, it’s herbaceous. Warmer weather is almost here, I can feel it.
This recipe makes enough for 8 servings, so adjust accordingly.
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle Prosecco or other sparkling wine
- 2 cups Aperol
- 1 cup club soda
- Juice of 2 blood oranges
- About 20 basil leaves
- 8 slices blood orange, to garnish
- Pour in the Prosecco, Aperol, club soda, and blood orange juice into a pitcher. Add the basil leaves and stir gently to combine. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish each with a blood orange slice.
