Let’s start this Summer off with light and refreshing cocktails!
I discovered the aperol spritz while we were in Rome (everyone drinks them there!), and since we’ve been back, I’ve made them at least 4 times – and I see no end in sight! We just love this drink! It is, to me, the Summer cocktail. It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit bitter, and has a killer fizz going on. It’s also light enough to drink before, with, and after meals. What more could we ask for in a cocktail?
The fact that it only calls for 3 ingredients and 3 minutes of prep time is just the icing on the cake! Cheers to a great Summer!!! xoxo

- Pour the prosecco into a glass filled with ice. Add the Aperol and an orange wheel; top with club soda. Serve at once! Cheers 🙂
Woohoo! I drank my bodyweight in aperol spritz last week and have already told my boyfriend that we’ll be drinking them all summer long.
Giiiirl I like your style! xo

Your pictures are just gorgeous! I think I can take the Summer heat if I can stare at your pretty pictures all season long!
Thank you, Pamela! xoxo
So fizzy! Sounds delicious and refreshing!
My summer cocktails have gotten rather redundant already. Vodka soda lemon. Prosecco. Rose. The occasional beer, that’s it. Need these in my life, spice it up a bit!
This looks so refreshing. This will be made immediately. 🙂
Had these while in Venice. Love them! Will be making
