Four Ingredient Holiday Spritz

While we were over in Italy, I am pretty sure I drank an aperol spritz every single day - no exaggeration 😂 So I thought it would be fun to create a holiday version of one of my favorite Italian cocktails just in time for your next holiday get together with family and friends 🎄 

Full recipe on how to make my holiday spritz is below. I have also included how we made our own cranberry simple syrup as well. It is super easy to do and doesn’t require a ton of time (or ingredients!). I hope you enjoy and if you decide to make these, be sure to tag me over on Instagram Stories when you do 🖤

Cranberry Simple Syrup

Ingredients

• 2 cups of fresh or frozen cranberries

• 1 cup of water

• 1 cup of sugar

Directions

• In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil stirring occasionally to keep the mixture moving.

• Once boiling, remove from heat, let cool, and bottle or put into Tupperware to save in the refrigerator for when it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

Holiday Spritz

Ingredients

• 3 oz of Prosecco (any sparkling wine will do but I prefer La Marca or La Bella prosecco)

• 1 oz Aperol 

• 1 oz cranberry simple syrup (recipe above)

• Splash of soda water

Directions

• Combine all ingredients into a glass with ice. We made spherical ice cubes with cranberries inside for an extra festive touch. Linking our ice mold here.

• Be sure to stir well before serving!

• To top it off and to make it even more festive, garnish with rosemary and cranberries

• Sip, cheers and enjoy! 

With love,
