Everyone knows the Aperol Spritz. It has made Aperol a household name and has made the company wildly successful. As popular as it is, Aperol has a lot of sugar (about 15g in a single shot, which is the equivalent of 5 sugar cubes, and 21g in the standard Spritz) and bright reddish-orange Aperol is artificially colored. It also doesn’t have a whole lot of flavor.
Here’s our alternative. It’s a delicious, all-natural, low-sugar cocktail (75% less sugar than the Aperol Spritz) and it’s incredibly simple to make. It’s light, refreshing, and it really shows off the wonderful flavors in Batch 22.
Fill a large glass with ice.
Pour in:
2 oz. Batch 22
3 oz. Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
1 oz. Pellegrino
Twist a strip of orange peel over the top, rim the glass, and drop it in.
Add a dash of orange bitters or fresh orange juice, if desired.
Stir gently and enjoy.
