This Autumnal Aperol Spritz Recipe Will Warm You Up In No Time

From Delish

An Aperol Spritz has to be one of our all-time favourite cocktails. But, admit it – summer’s over and so is Aperol season.

UNLESS you fancy giving your Aperol Spritz recipe an autumn makeover? Which, of course you do!

Now this warming, cosy take on Aperol Spritz comes from none other than Reese Witherspoon. Yes, Hollywood actress, Reese Witherspoon. Yes, used-to-be-married-to-that-90s-babe-Ryan-Phillippe Reese Witherspoon.

The Big Little Lies star shared her cosy recipe on Instagram, and I’m ordering a bottle of Aperol as we speak so I can recreate it at home this weekend.

Instead of simply making the iconic Italian cocktail by mixing Aperol with soda and Prosecco, and garnishing with a slice of orange, Reese also adds apple juice (although, she calls it “apple cider” in the video, as that’s what our American pals say. Although, actual cider would probably be lovely in this if you’re looking for an extra booze kick. And who isn’t?!) as well as a sprinkle of cinnamon to her cocktail. She then garnishes it with a slice of apple and a cinnamon stick.

Oh, and it’s very, VERY important to spill soda water all over yourself and throw a few shapes while making it and drinking it.

Look, I don’t make the rules, okay? Reese Witherspoon does.
