Fall is here, and Iโ€™m all about embracing the cozy vibes and warm flavors that come with it! It’s the perfect time to transition from those light and fruity summer drinks to something a bit more autumnal. That’s where the Apple-rol Spritz comes in. The Aperol spritz gets a fall makeover with this autumn riff that captures the essence of fall flavors in a glass. With a cinnamon and caramel rim, a blend of some of my favorite ingredients like cider, Aperol, and prosecco, this cocktail is sure to become your go-to for chilly evenings. Cheers!

Recipe Ingredients

  • Aperol: Obviously
  • Prosecco: Sparkling wine that adds effervescence to the drink. I like Mionetto Prosecco for its crisp and fruity profile.
  • Cider: I used hard apple cider but non-alcoholic cider also works great in this recipe.
  • Sparkling Water: A splash of sparkling water keeps things light and refreshing.
  • Caramel: The caramel rim is optional but highly recommended. I used a thicker caramel topping that I found in the ice cream aisle at my grocery store.
  • Cinnamon Sugar: No need to measure but combine granulated sugar with a dash or two of cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar rim.
  • Apple Slice, Cinnamon Stick : Dress up the Apple-rol Spritz with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick!

How to Make the Apple-rol Spritz

Step 1: The Apple-rol Spritz is so easy to make and comes together in just 5 minutes! Start by creating the caramel-cinnamon rim. Use two shallow dishes, one for caramel and the other for the cinnamon sugar. First, dip the rim of the glass in caramel, then coat it evenly with cinnamon sugar.

Step 2: Next, add ice cubes to the glass. Add Aperol, Prosecco, and cider to the glass and top it off with a splash of sparkling water. Give it a stir.

Step 3: Finally, garnish with a thin apple slice and a cinnamon stick for a hint of apple and spice in your sips!
