The signature orange of the Aperol spritz continues to take over and I am not mad about it! I love the bittersweet syrupy flavor buoyed by the bubbly champagne. It’s natural that such a balanced and chuggable cocktail would only improve during the freezing process. We’re taking the classic Aperol spritz and giving it the granita treatment by freezing and flaking it to snow cone - fluffy - alcoholic perfection.

You Need

8 servings
4:05
  • 3 cups Prosecco
  • 2 cups Aperol
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2-3 oranges, juiced
  • 1-2 oranges, sliced
  • How To

    1. Pour the prosecco, Aperol, water, and orange juice to a large shallow dish or sheet pan.
    2. Stir to combine and place in the freezer.
    3. Let the mixture sit for about 4 hours until mostly set.
    4. Scrape with a fork to create the fluffy snow-cone texture that will be your granita.
    5. You can leave it in the freezer after this step if you’re not ready to serve; you might just need to scrape the surface of the mixture again.
    6. Serve in shallow bowls or cocktail glasses with a slice of orange.
