Cranberry Aperol Spritz
Your New Go-To Holiday Cocktail If you love a classic Aperol Spritz, meet its festive holiday cousin! ♡ This cranberry spritz still has that iconic bittersweet Aperol flavor and prosecco bubbles, but the splash of cranberry juice adds a layer of tart flavor that (I think!) balances the cocktail even better.Perfect for holiday parties, girls’ nights, or anytime you’re craving a winter cocktail.It’s also super quick and easy to make — just pour everything into a glass with ice, give it a quick stir, and pop in your favorite garnishes.
I love adding fresh cranberries for sparkle, a slice of orange for brightness, and a little rosemary sprig for that wintery aroma.Let’s make some spritzes! Recipe Tips Here are a few simple tips to help your cranberry spritz turn out perfectly every time: Chill everything first.A spritz is most refreshing when every component — prosecco, Aperol, cranberry juice, and soda water — is straight-from-the-fridge cold.
Use unsweetened or lightly sweetened cranberry juice.This gives you that pure, tart cranberry flavor without overwhelming sweetness.Add the prosecco last.
This keeps the bubbles lively and prevents the drink from going flat as you build it.Taste and adjust.Want it sweeter? Add a splash more cranberry.
Want it more bitter? Add a touch more Aperol.Use plenty of ice.A proper spritz should be served icy-cold and in a glass filled nearly to the top with ice.
Serve immediately.Sp
