Clementine Aperol Spritz
I can’t get over this delicious clementine Aperol spritz. It’s mixed with two parts Aperol, clementine juice, Prosecco and soda water.
Are you up for an amazing Winter cocktail?
I’m catching the last days of some fresh clementines, that are super delicious in cocktails. I’m a huge fan of citruses like grapefruit or oranges in cocktails. And I just realized I haven’t posted a cocktail recipe with clementines yet. So let’s do that!
Ready?
All you need is some Aperol, which is a bright orange, bittersweet low-alcohol liqueur. I’m changing the original recipe a bit and trust me, it’s worth it, even though I love the original as well. The original is just Aperol liqueur, Processo wine and sparkling water. The citrus flavor adds so much to this drink.
Can you make this clementine aperol spritz less alcoholic?
Yes, absolutely. Simply change a part of Prosecco with clementine juice or apple juice and your cocktail will be less boozy.
I don’t suggest replacing Prosecco with sparkling water, because the taste will be too diluted.

I love this cocktail. I am a huge fan of Aperol Spritz, and this modification makes the cocktail extra special. Even though it is declared a winter drink, I also like it during these summer days, just without the freshly squeezed clementine juice. Instead, I use packaged clementine juice.
What a wonderful idea, Sonja!!
