Italian Aperol Spritz Mocktail
An Aperol Spritz mocktail is a non-alcoholic Italian mocktail created to taste similar to a classic Aperol Spritz but made with orange juice instead of prosecco and a non-alcoholic bitter instead of Aperol.
Ingredients
- 1 oz club soda or tonic water (a splash)
- 2 oz non-alcoholic bitter such as Crodino
- 3 oz orange juice
Instructions
- If you are using fresh oranges, squeeze the juice. Add the orange juice and non-alcoholic bitters in a large globe or wine glass.
- Fill with ice and top with the club soda or tonic water. Garnish with an orange slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chill all your ingredients before using, including the glass.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice is the best for this Italian mocktail but feel free to use store bought juice for convenience (which is what I do with a crowd or when oranges are not in season).
- Crodino or San Bitters can be used interchangeably. Crodino Rosso works better in this recipe than the Biondo.
- A Spritz is most commonly enjoyed in a large wine or globe glass but it’s also served in a tall tumbler glass, which you can use as well, making for a more casual presentation.
