Riviera Dreams: Aperol & Rose Mocktail

/

Jump to Recipe

The spritz-style cocktail has become eponymous with glam summers all over North America with its slightly bitter effervescent booziness and iconic glassware. It offers a welcome detour from the usual and possibly hum-drum glass of wine with its approachable ingredients and European appeal. If you’re new to not drinking, you don’t need to say bye-bye to your favourite spritz. There’s been a relative onslaught in the non alcoholic world of new aperitifs, digestifs, bitters and ready-made spritzers that can be used for a low-ABV cocktail or a zero-ABV cocktail with none the wiser.

While the traditional spritz is made with prosecco, the bitter flavours in an aperitif are exceptional when paired with a still wine rather than a bubbly.

We’re hoping our take on the aperitif-based cocktail will be the next drink craze, so move over Frose. This is the Some Good Clean drink of summer!

Cheers!
