How To Make A Grapefruit & Elderflower Spritz
Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to mix up your spritz. Start by filling a spritz glass with ice (you could also use a wine glass or a highball glass if you don’t have a spritz glass). Then, add the Aperol, St Germain, and grapefruit juice to the glass and stir.
After that, it’s time to add the Prosecco or sparkling wine. Pour it slowly over the ice and gently stir to combine. Finally, top the spritz with sparkling water to give it a little fizz and a refreshing finish.
When it comes to garnishing your spritz, you can get as creative as you like. We recommend adding a slice of grapefruit to the rim of the glass for a pop of color and flavor. You could also try adding a few sprigs of fresh mint, a splash of elderflower cordial, or a slice of cucumber to mix things up.
One of the great things about this grapefruit and elderflower spritz is that you can easily customize it to your liking. If you prefer your drinks a little sweeter, you can add a dash of simple syrup or honey. If you like your drinks stronger, you can adjust the proportions of the Aperol and St Germain. Play around with the recipe and make it your own!
