Make an Aperol Spritz today

To be totally honest I must have been really out of the loop because until recently I had never heard of Aperol even though Aperol’s popularity has been soaring in the UK.

What is Aperol?

“Aperol is the perfect aperitif. Bright orange in colour, it has a unique taste, thanks to the secret recipe, which has never been changed, with infusions of selected ingredients including bitter and sweet oranges and many other herbs (including rhubarb) and roots in perfect proportions.”

And, an Aperol Spritz is a traditional Italian aperitif cocktail so it was rather funny that when I went on my travels to Florence this summer I saw Aperol Spritz’ everywhere, and of course had to try a few out!

Anyway, before my little holiday I was sent a lovely box of goodies to make my own Aperol Spritz, and very sublime it was too…

Aperol Spritz Time!

I am already a huge fan of prosecco so adding the orange and herb flavouring to it made a really lovely change.
