What cocktails can I make that are low alcohol, on the sweeter side, with Aperol?
Cocktail Colin says:
Based on your preferences for a low-alcohol, sweeter cocktail that features Aperol, the Spritz Al Bitter and the Aperol Spritz are excellent choices. Both of these cocktails are well-suited to your taste for something light and refreshing with a touch of sweetness.
The Spritz Al Bitter is a delightful low-alcohol cocktail with an alcohol content of just 9%. This drink offers a unique blend of soda water, Champagne or prosecco, and Campari, making it moderately sweet with a hint of bitterness from the Campari. The effervescent quality from the soda water and Champagne gives it a light and bubbly texture, perfect for a pre-dinner aperitif or enjoying on a warm day.
Alternatively, the Aperol Spritz is another classic choice with an alcohol content of 13.29%. This cocktail balances the bittersweet orange flavors of Aperol with the light, bubbly qualities of prosecco and a dash of soda water. Its vibrant orange color and sweet, tangy flavor make it a favorite for those who enjoy a slightly bitter yet sweet drink. The popularity of the Aperol Spritz has soared in recent years, making it a trendy and sophisticated option for social gatherings or casual sipping.
Both of these drinks embrace the essence of Italian aperitivo culture and provide that perfect mix of sweetness, low-alcohol content, and refreshing feel you're looking for.
