Behind the Spritz
In this refreshing twist on the classic Aperol Spritz, we swap out the traditional soda water and Prosecco for something a little zestier— Frobishers Sicilian Lemonade . The result? A vibrant, citrus-forward cocktail that elevates your summer sipping game.
We start by filling a glass generously with ice. The more, the better—it keeps your drink crisp and refreshing. Add 2 shots of Aperol, the iconic Italian aperitif known for its bittersweet orange flavor and vivid color.
Now for the twist— fill 2/3 of your glass with Frobishers Sicilian Lemonade . This mixer brings a lively citrus tang with just the right touch of sweetness, perfectly balancing the bitterness of the Aperol and the dryness of the Prosecco. It’s a bold yet natural enhancement, turning a familiar classic into something truly special.
Next, top your glass with Prosecco, giving the cocktail its signature sparkle and lightness.
Give it a gentle stir to marry the flavors, then garnish with a fresh orange slice or a twist of lemon peel for an extra splash of citrus aroma.
This Aperol Spritz with Frobishers Sicilian Lemonade is ideal for sunny afternoons, garden parties, or anytime you want something that tastes as good as it looks. It’s the same Aperol Spritz you love—just brighter, zestier, and bursting with personality.
Cheers to Spritz with character. Try it, share it, and toast to a twist worth repeating.
