A classic Aperol Spritz recipe is a big hit every summer, and with a dash of gin, we think it’s even better! If you’re missing your favourite ginny Aperol spritz now the weather is chillier (and can’t wait til next summer to taste it again), then we’ve got a winter twist that’ll tick all your spritzy boxes!

It’s incredibly quick to make, and you’ll love the sweet pineapple fruit addition (this Grapefruit Ginny Aperol Spritz proves just how well fruit juice works!). Add in some seasonal cinnamon, gin (or go for a spiced gin to up the festive flavour ante!), and prosecco, and you’ve got yourself a delicious-tasting winter cocktail.

If you’re hosting, we know this winter cocktail recipe will go down an absolute treat…

Thank us later!
