Ingredients
  

Apple cider aperol spritz
  • 2 oz Aperol
  • 3 oz apple cider Chilled
  • 3 oz prosecco Chilled
  • 1 oz sparkling water
  • 1 Ice
  • 1 thin apple slice
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Method
 

Build the spritz
  1. Fill a large wine glass with ice to the top so the drink stays cold.
  2. Pour in the Aperol and chilled apple cider, letting the liquids flow over the ice.
  3. Top with the chilled prosecco and the sparkling water to bring back the bubbles.
  4. Stir gently once to combine without flattening the carbonation.
  5. Garnish with the thin apple slice and cinnamon stick, then serve immediately.

Notes

For the best flavor and color, chill the apple cider and prosecco in the fridge before mixing. Serve right away for maximum sparkle; leftovers aren’t ideal because carbonation fades after a few minutes. Freezing is not recommended. For a lower-alcohol option, substitute extra sparkling water for some of the prosecco while keeping the Aperol and cider amounts the same.
