Frozen Aperol Spritz
Summer 2019
Light and refreshing with just a hint of bitterness, this frozen spin on the classic aperitivo gives the original a run for its money. While you may not recognize some of the ingre dients from a regular Aperol Spritz, they are important to the texture and flavour of the frozen format.
