Sunset Spritz

There's something about that late afternoon light that makes you want a drink in your hand, something fizzy and not too serious. The Sunset Spritz delivers exactly that, with Aperol's bittersweet orange meeting the herbal complexity of Cocchi Americano in a tall glass of sparkling refreshment. The grapefruit juice does real work here, adding a tart brightness that cuts through the sweetness while playing up those citrus notes already hanging out in the Aperol. Lemon juice sharpens everything up, and the Prosecco brings that dry, bubbly finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. It's like an Aperol Spritz grew up a little, got more interesting. This one's built for late spring afternoons on the patio or early summer evenings when you want something refreshing but with enough bitterness to keep things compelling. If you're feeling bold, swap in Campari for a more assertive, deeper-hued version. Either way, you've got yourself a proper sunset sipper.
