How to make a peach Aperol spritz

Preparing an aperol spritz with peach nectar could not be easier. This three-step recipe comes together in under 3 minutes (for real!).

First, add ice to a large wine glass.

Add the Aperol, peach nectar, prosecco, and club soda. Stir with a spoon.

Finally, add the peach slices and enjoy!

Preparing for a crowd?

If you'd like to make this for a crowd, simply add the ingredients to a pitcher, mix, and then divide into glasses. Alternatively, you could line up wine glasses and prepare them together individually. Either option works! To prepare four drinks, use the below ingredient amounts:

• 1.5 c (12 oz) Aperol
• 1.5 c (12 oz) peach nectar/juice
• 2 c (16 oz) Prosecco
• 1.5 c (12 oz) club soda
• Ice
• ~4-8 peach slices (depending on if you use 1 or 2 per glass)

What is Aperol?

I've had so many people ask me this! It's a common question. Aperol is a bitter (just like orange bitters) that comes from Italy and is used to add a citrusy flavor to beverages. It also has a pretty red orange color, making drinks look all the more appealing! It is around 11% alcohol and has a semi-sweet flavor that tastes delicious with the citrus notes.
