Blood Orange Aperol Spritz

Cocktails, Recipes

Tis the season for low-ABV cocktails. Even in the colder months, I like to enjoy a good drink with dinner. After the holidays, low-ABV drinks like an Aperol Spritz don’t weigh me down too much. This Blood Orange Aperol Spritz is my favorite seasonal twist on this popular pre-dinner beverage.
