For an easy spritz that’s a little different from the classic Aperol Spritz, you’ve got to try this juicy mango version.

Sweet mango nectar softens Aperol’s signature bittersweet flavor while prosecco and sparkling water keep the drink light, bubbly and incredibly refreshing.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Only four ingredients: Quick and easy to find.
  • Perfectly balanced: Sweet mango complements Aperol’s bittersweet citrus notes.
  • Ready in just 5 minutes: Mix it up right in the glass

Key Ingredients

See the recipe card for quantities.

  • Aperol: This iconic Italian aperitif adds bright orange, herbal and bittersweet flavors.
  • Mango nectar: Look for a 100% juice mango nectar, like Open Nature.
  • Prosecco: A dry prosecco balances the sweetness of the mango nectar while adding plenty of bubbles. I like Mionetto Prosecco.
  • Sparkling water: Plain or flavored sparkling water or seltzer, just nothing that’s sweetened.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Mango swap: Replace mango nectar with a juice of your choice. I love making it a peach spritz.
  • Aperitif swap: Try another aperitif like Campari (more bitter), elderflower liqueur (sweet and flower), or Italicus (sweet and herbal).
  • Sparkling switch: Try with your favorite sparkling white wine, rosé or cava.
  • Mocktail version: Make it alcohol-free by using non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a non-alcoholic aperitif or pomegranate juice.
  • Love mango? Pair this cocktail with my Boozy Mango Shaved Ice or Mango Rum Swizzle for the ultimate tropical happy hour.

How to Make Aperol Mango Spritz

Step 1: Fill a large wine glass with ice. I love this ripple wine glass.

Step 2: Pour in the Aperol, mango nectar, prosecco and a little sparkling water.

Step 3: Stir gently with a bar spoon until everything is well combined.

Step 4: Garnish with a fresh mango slice, pineapple fronds and a chamomile flower, if desired. Serve immediately.

⭐Fun Tip: If you don’t have a jigger, people swear by using your fingers to measure. Use 1 finger per ounce. 

Carolyn’s Tips for Making Aperol Mango Spritz

  • 100% juice mango nectar: This will give you the best flavor.
  • Chill your prosecco: This keeps the cocktail cold without diluting too quickly.
  • Serve immediately: For the freshest flavor and maximum fizz.

Aperol Mango Spritz FAQs

What is the best mango juice for an Aperol Mango Spritz?

Mango nectar made with 100% juice provides the richest mango flavor while maintaining a smooth texture. Open Nature is a great option.

Can you make an Aperol Mango Spritz ahead of time?

Because prosecco and sparkling water lose their carbonation, mix this cocktail immediately before serving. 

What does Aperol pair well with?

Aperol pairs beautifully with tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, peach, and citrus. The bittersweet orange flavor also complements sparkling wine and fresh herbs.
