Super Summer Recipes
It's July, which means summer entertaining is in full swing! To help you prepare for your alfresco events, Nikki and Kerri are sharing two of their favorite go to recipes this summer!
123 Aperol Spritz
Nikki discovered Aperol Spritz last summer and she was instantly hooked! The combination of aromatic aperol, prosecco, and sparkling water creates a light and refreshing cocktail, perfect for warm and sunny afternoons. And the best part is, there are only three ingredients, so it's easy to assemble. Here's what you need for an 8 oz serving:
- 1 ounce club soda or sparkling water
- 2 ounces Aperol
- 3 ounces prosecco
Add the ingredients to a wine glass filled with ice, garnish with an orange slice, and finito! Easy as 1, 2, 3!
