Aperol Spritz is a classic Italian wine-based cocktail, commonly served as an aperitif in Italy, but tastes incredible anytime, anywhere.

If you've never tried this drink, you're in for a delicious surprise. The mix is fruity yet bitter with orange-infused flavors from the Aperol and has a spritz taste and effect from the Processco and club soda that makes it harder to put the drink down. Celebrate all summer long with this Italian spritz and serve them up at your Fourth of July gathering this weekend. Cheers!
