Get ready for fall with this apple cider spritz—easy, breezy, and perfect for the season. It’s a playful twist on the classic Aperol spritz, bringing the warmth of spiced cider and a hint of pumpkin spice. Aperol’s orange-herbal notes beautifully complement the cider flavors, creating a refreshing cocktail that’s ideal for sipping on crisp autumn days. Plus, it’s a crowd-pleaser! Whip up a pitcher with cider, Aperol, and pumpkin spice mix, then pour over ice, garnish, and top with Prosecco for a drink as vibrant as the best fall day.
Remember, cider sweetness varies, so if you prefer a less sweet drink, opt for a dry, French-style cider.
