Summer Spritz
Nothing says summer like a Aperol spritz and this version is a delicious twist on the classic fizz cocktail with the addition of elderflower liqueur and fresh grapefruit juice.
Introduction from Sarah Gualtieri
I often say that every season is spritz season, but they taste just a little better in the summer. There’s nothing better than enjoying a bubbly spritz while dining alfresco or lounging by the pool. While a classic Aperol or Hugo spritz are both great choices, this combination of both – with a hint of bright citrus – is one of my favourites.
