Sweater Weather Spritz Recipe
A fall-themed spritz made with apple cider, Aperol, and sparkling wine for cozy evenings.
Why This Spritz Works
It keeps the bittersweet orange sparkle of Aperol spritzes and includes crisp apple cider for a less beachy, more corn maze-like taste.
Key Ingredients

Chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine, unfiltered apple cider, Aperol, and lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.
Optional Garnishes
Fresh rosemary and apple slices add a herbal and fruity touch to the drink.
How to Make It
Combine chilled ingredients in a wine glass, stir gently, and serve immediately with optional garnishes.
Variations
Swap Aperol for brandy with cinnamon, use hard cider, rim with cinnamon sugar, or make it a mocktail.
Storage Tips
Leftover Prosecco can be refrigerated for a day or two; opened apple cider lasts about a week.
Can You Make It Ahead?
Stir apple cider and Aperol up to a day ahead and add Prosecco and soda when guests arrive.
Why Soda Matters
Soda adds sparkle and sweetness but can be skipped for a less sweet, cider-forward drink.
Best Flavors for Fall
Orchard fruits and warm baking spices like ginger, cinnamon, or maple create cozy fall spritzes.
The bottom line
A fall-themed spritz made with apple cider, Aperol, and sparkling wine for cozy evenings.
