The Frozen Aperol Spritz: A Slushy Version of an Italian Classic

A traditional Aperol spritz is a refreshing cocktail that combines Aperol, bubbly Prosecco, and a splash of orange juice. It’s a classic cocktail beloved worldwide for its crisp, slightly bitter taste and vibrant orange color.

But sometimes, on a hot day, you want to kick things up a notch. That’s where this Aperol slushie comes in — a frosty version of the favorite Italian classic. It’s the perfect drink to cool off when you’re lounging by the pool or enjoying a laid-back evening.

This frozen cocktail is made with simple ingredients: Aperol, orange juice, a little Prosecco, and a handful of ice cubes.. Taking it a step further…don’t forget some frozen strawberries!

You can even make it ahead of time by freezing the Aperol and fresh orange juice in ice cube trays (I highly recommend this step!), making it a fun and easy way to entertain guests without any fuss.

How to Make the Perfect Frozen Strawberry Aperol Spritz

To get started, freeze some clean and hulled strawberries.

Also, freeze your Aperol and orange juice in ice cube trays a few hours before you want to make the drink.

When you’re ready to blend, toss the frozen cubes into a blender along with a handful of ice, frozen strawberries, and some bubbly prosecco. Blend until smooth, and you’ve got yourself the perfect frozen Aperol spritz!

Pour the slushy mix into your favorite glass — I love using a coupe glass for an elegant touch, but any cocktail glass will do!
