Virgin Aperol Spritz
A bold and zesty, non-alcoholic reinterpretation of the classic Aperol Spritz cocktail. It's a vibrant, sunshine-filled drink that encapsulates the spirit of an Italian summer afternoon. The Virgin Aperol Spritz is a perfect refresher for those who crave the tantalizing tang of the original, but prefer a booze-free beverage. Originating from Italy, this drink is traditionally enjoyed as an aperitif, a pre-dinner drink to awaken the appetite.
Ingredients
- Orange slice
- 1
- Ice cubes
- as needed
- Grenadine syrup
- 1 tablespoon
- Sparkling water
- 1/2 cup
- Fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Prepare a wide-brim glass by filling it with ice cubes.
- Pour the fresh orange juice over the ice, allowing it to chill the juice while not diluting the flavor.
- Add the grenadine syrup to the mix. The syrup will sink to the bottom creating a beautiful gradient in the drink. Stir gently to combine, but not too much as you want to maintain some of that lovely gradient effect.
- Slowly top with sparkling water, adding that signature, effervescent spritz finish.
- Carefully garnish with a fresh orange slice on the rim of the glass and serve immediately. Enjoy the bright, refreshing flavors of your homemade Virgin Aperol Spritz!
Tips
- For a more intense orange flavor, you can add a few drops of orange extract to the mixture.
- You can also add a splash of grapefruit juice for a more complex and tangy flavor.
